Lavatory / Entomology Laboratory, Colorado Agricultural College (Nutrition Research Laboratory)

The building is the original home of the Department of Zoology and Entomology, functioning in that capacity from 1910 until 1937.  From 1902 to 1910 it served as the college bathhouse.

Laurel School Historic District

Located south of Fort Collins’ downtown core, the district developed over a sixty year period from the mid-1870s into the 1930s.  Also known as the Midtown Historic District, it is a good example of early community planning and also illustrates the social evolution of Fort Collins.  Of the 665 properties, 549 contribute to the district’s historic and architectural integrity. 

Kissock Block Building

Constructed in 1889, for John A.C. Kissock, the two-story red brick building is a good example of late 19th century commercial architecture designed by noted local architect Montezuma Fuller.

Harmony Mill

The 1886 mill building rose as part of the early organizational movement by farmers in Larimer County.  The structure is a rare surviving example of a late 19th century brick grain mill.

Guggenheim Hall, Colorado Agricultural College

The 1910 building is associated with the efforts made toward expanding women’s educational programs beyond the domestic sciences by the women instructors who taught there during the first decades of the 20th century.

Great Western Sugar Effluent Flume and Bridge

Constructed in 1926 and utilized until 1955, the Great Western Sugar Effluent Flume and Bridge are significant for their association with the industrial development, operation, and demise of the beet sugar factory in Fort Collins during the first half of the twentieth century.  The flume drew massive amounts of water from the Cache la Poudre River and deposited huge volumes of effluent onto nearby lands and back into the river.  Although most of the factory complex was demolished during the 1960s, the Effluent Flume and Bridge remain over the river. 

Thumbnail

Montezuma Fuller House

Built in 1894-1895, the house is important for its association with Montezuma Fuller, the most prominent of Fort Collins’ early architects.  

Thumbnail

Fort Collins Waterworks

Built in 1882-1883, and expanded in 1894 and 1895, the waterworks plant played a pivotal role in the establishment of the city’s first public works facility, a filtered water and sewer system. 

Thumbnail

Fort Collins Post Office

A stylized example of Second Renaissance Revival architecture, this 1911 two-story rectangular building of reinforced concrete is faced with limestone.

Fort Collins Municipal Railway Birney Safety Streetcar No. 21

The American Car Company of St. Louis, Missouri, built the trolley car in 1919 as designed by Charles O. Birney.  The car operated in Fort Collins from 1919 to 1951 and was retired to Library Park where it deteriorated for 24 years before being restored to operating condition during the 1970s.
