Donations are needed to provide grant matching funds to begin structural investigations, stabilization of the building, and plans for restoration of the structure.

Victor Miners hall was a center of local educational, social and political life for the whole community. The hall was the site of a major confrontation between mine owners, the Western Federation of Miners, and the state militia in the climax of the 1. Cripple Creek Strike. Bullet holes can still be seen on the buildings facade from the battle. The current owner of the building started the loving process of stabilizing the building, with a new roof, and other improvements. The Victor facade squad helped out by painting the front exterior. The fire destroyed much of this work, but also provided an opportunity to begin again to stabilize the exterior walls and return the building to a beneficial use. The STCFG had applied for and received a grant to restore the facade of the building. That grant was returned to the SHF when the owner opted to not accept it and requested the matching funds be returned to her. Read more about the Miners Union Hall.
