The Englewood City Council approved a proposed settlement regarding the historic Englewood Depot at the July 17 council meeting, which will give owners Thomas and Patti Parson until 2028 to make necessary changes to the depot or the city can reclaim ownership of the property. The proposed settlement comes after the city sued the Parsons and Englewood Depot Inc. on Sept. 30, 2022, alleging breach of the original contract all parties signed in 2013. The proposal at the time called for the building to become a letterpress museum, which has never materialized for public use. According to City Attorney Tamara Niles, the Parsons entered a contract to purchase the site at 675 W. Dartmouth from the city in August 2013, paid the city $30,000, and the city transferred the title on May 24, 2014 to the couple, who then transferred title to Englewood Depot Inc. in December 2017. The lawsuit, which is now pending in Arapahoe County District Court, accuses the Parsons and Englewood Depot Inc. of “breach of contract, unjust enrichment, and fraudulent inducement related to the proposal submitted by the Parsons for the SEE DEPOT, P15
