Completed in 1889, the Masonic Hall is one of the earliest extant examples of the stone construction that would become a prominent component of La Veta’s architectural heritage.

Originally built in 1862 by "Colonel" John M. Francisco, the two early historic buildings form a U-shape around an open courtyard.  When constructed, they had 18 to 24 inch thick adobe walls, dirt floors, and a dirt roof supported by vigas. 

The Italian Mountain region was active from 1879 through World War II.  By 1905, the Star was the leading silver and lead mine in the area.  In fact, the mine operated almost continuously from 1890 to 1971, one of the longest runs of any mine in the county. 

Rimrock School is located in a still rural setting south of US Hwy. 50, near the Curecanti National Recreation Area and the Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park. 

Built in 1900, the Pitkin Town Hall is significant for its role in the history of Pitkin and for its architectural features.  The building was designed/built by F.G. Zugelder, a prominent stonemason, and William Ender.  In 1908, the town hall was enlarged. 

From 1924 until 1962, the wood frame building was the only school serving Pitkin and the surrounding area. 

The hotel is a strong example of the commercial buildings constructed in small mining towns at the turn of the century. 

The Alpine Tunnel Historic District includes approximately 13 miles of the former Denver, South Park and Pacific Railroad railbed across the Continental Divide from Hancock to Quartz, as well as the Alpine Tunnel itself.

Originally known as St. John’s Episcopal Chapel, the church was built in Aspen in 1886 by the Episcopal Missions of Western Colorado.  In 1908, it was relocated to Marble and was renamed St. Paul’s Church.  Two rooms were added to the rear of the building, and a belfry was added in 1911.  The church is Marble’s only example of Gothic architecture and is an example of early religious structures of late 19th century mining communities in Colorado. 

Constructed in 1891, this house was built by William D. Parry, who along with William Wood, was responsible for founding the town of Marble.
