All I could find was what is in the listing. It currently is owned by the housing authority and is for families with children.
The building is big and interesting. There is some sort of outreach center on the west side. I'm guessing a person could arrange a tour through there.
Watch out for the pit bull guarding the yard across the street. That's why I didn't stand too far back for pictures.

Captain John J. Lambert, editor and publisher of the Pueblo Daily Chieftain, bought and donated a ten acre site to the Franciscan Sisters for the purpose of establishing an orphanage. The orphanage, Pueblo’s largest, opened in 1903. Large and institutional in overall appearance, this Romanesque Revival building displays superior craftsmanship in its detailing.
