Constructed in 1872, the three-story brick commercial structure reflects the vernacular building tradition of the territorial period.

Constructed in 1924, the school is important to the history of education in Cañon City.  It is one of two schools constructed after the consolidation of the South Cañon and Cañon City school districts and is the oldest intact school building in the city.

Designed by Joseph Dillon and L.A. Des Jardins, construction began in 1924 on this massive 3½-story brick building built in a modified cruciform plan. 

As Cañon City’s oldest cemetery, Greenwood Cemetery is the final resting place for some of the city’s earliest and most influential settlers, including those involved in shaping the local economy, politics and culture.  

Nominated through the Rural School Buildings in Colorado MPS, the 1895 Garden Park School served as the educational center for the children of local ranching families from its opening until consolidation closed the school in 1961.  As the only public building on the landscape for miles, it also served as an important place for social gatherings such as “literaries”, dances, Sunday school, and theater productions.

The well-preserved building and its surrounding wall were constructed with ornamental concrete block, a popular building material used in Colorado from 1900 to 1940. 

This site has been delisted from the National Register but remains on the State Register.

V.B. Humphrey designed this pin-connected, six-panel steel Pratt through truss constructed by Pueblo’s Bullen Bridge Company in 1891.  

Since its construction in 1902, the massive stone church with its prominent tower has served as an architectural landmark for the community.  In design, the building illustrates a significant local interpretation of Victorian styling applied to church architecture.

This brick building was the residence of Judge Kent Eldred, who had a major influence on the community’s legal and political system.

Located just outside the walls of the Colorado State Penitentiary, the two-story masonry residence was designed by Charles C. Rittenhouse, an architect credited with the design of several other Cañon City buildings.
