To truly appreciate the Lowry neighborhood, it is important to understand its history. For over 50 years, it served as the Lowry Air Force Base. It was here that military personnel were trained from all branches. It had aerial-based operations from the year 1938 to the year of 1966. Technical training was performed at this time. As air and space technology improved, specialists were being trained in the area at great numbers. Today, you can see remnants of this training by the motto “Sustineo Alas” – which means “I Sustain the Wings” – on many of the historical buildings situated throughout the neighborhood.

During the period of the 1950s, Lowry was known as the summer-based “White House” as President Dwight Eisenhower and his wife – Mamie – stayed there to be close to her family, who were located in the City of Denver. The President and his wife would fly in on the Columbine presidential airplane. They not only lived there, but attended services there at what is known as “Chapel No. 1”. During the years of 1955 through 1948, a permanent Air Force Academy was being built in Colorado Springs. During this time, it was actually located right in Lowry.

The neighborhood was named “Lowry” after Lt. Francis B. Lowry. This man lost his life while working as an aerial photographer during aerial-based combat in the U.S Army in France in the year of 1918. He was laid to rest just south of the neighborhood at the Alameda and Quebec in Fairmount Cemetery. There is a large monument at his grave. Today, which is over 100 years later, this monument still stands. Another interesting note pertaining to flight is that THE Charles Lindbergh landed his airplane at Lowry Field. This occurred on the 31st of August in the year of 1927 after he made his widely famous flight across the Atlantic Ocean
