Built in 1910, the 1½-story wood frame residence features many stylistic characteristics associated with vernacular classic cottages.  It features a full width porch and a hipped roof with multiple dormers.

This 1887 house is a good local example of the combination of the popular late 19th century Queen Anne and Italianate styles.

Designed and constructed in 1905 by noted local builder John Edgar, the 1½-story wood frame house incorporates Dutch Colonial elements with Victorian and Queen Anne detailing.  It was originally built for J.G. and Nellie Miller, who arrived in Ridgway with the Denver Rio Grande Railroad. 

The Herran House was constructed during 1890-91 by Thomas Herran, a local farmer and painter. 

D.C. Hartwell purchased the land for a new town from local ranchers and started selling lots in 1890.  He and other members of the Ridgway Townsite Company graded, seeded, and fenced the parcel of land designated as a community park. 

Constructed in 1911, the two-story brick and stone, Richardsonian Romanesque style building is associated with Amos E. Walther, who played an important role in the development of the town of Ridgway.  

Located in the San Juan mountains, the district encompasses almost the entire historic townsite and reflects Ouray’s importance as a supply center for the nearby mining regions from 1886 to 1915

Completed around 1901, the two-story building was commissioned by Tom Walsh, who owned and operated the local Camp Bird mine.

Straddling the Ouray & San Miguel County lines near Telluride at an elevation of over 13,000 feet, Fort Peabody is associated with Colorado’s hard-rock labor strikes of 1903-04.  A local Colorado National Guard unit constructed this redoubt in early 1904.  Consisting of a small guardhouse, a flag mount, and what some characterized as a sniper’s nest, troops occupied the defensive fortification until martial law was revoked in June of that year.

Opened in 1887, the three-story brick and wood resort hotel was designed by architect O. Bulow.  The interior was modeled after Denver’s Brown Palace Hotel and featured a rotunda encircled by balconies, cathedral glass skylights, rosewood paneling, and an oak staircase.
