The circa 1880 Tallman Ranch represents part of the exploration and settlement of the area now encompassing western Jefferson and eastern Gilpin Counties. 

The buildings located within this approximately 200-acre agricultural district are especially noteworthy due to the extensive use of native sandstone in their construction.  The 1¾-story ranch house was built by Alexander Rooney and his brother-in-law Thomas Littlefield in the early 1860s.  The coursed walls are of large, smooth-faced sandstone blocks, and an 1867 spring house is of similar construction.

Rockland Community Church and Cemetery is architecturally significant as a type, period or method of construction.  The church has architectural significance as an outstanding, well-preserved example of the type of building that was constructed by early settlers for the purpose of worship.  Its simplicity of form and structure illustrates the need for prudent use of materials to reduce cost.  There is minimal ornate expression other than simple wood molding.
