The 1887 John Wolfe House property illustrates the evolution of the local area from agriculture and ranching to a residential neighborhood.  John Wolfe originally homesteaded land for agricultural use, transitioned from rancher to miner, and then in 1887 began selling parcels of his property for residential development. 

Designed by noted Colorado Springs architect Thompson Duncan Hetherington, the Verner Z. Reed Memorial Library was constructed in 1926 as a good example of a small scale Classical Revival style building in the South End neighborhood.  The Reed building exhibits the key elements of the style such as a pedimented entry, dentil molding, Tuscan columns, and arched windows with keystones. 

The 1908 Van Briggle Pottery Company building is a remarkable expression of early 20th century pottery factory architecture, as an excellent example of the work of Colorado Springs architect Nicolaas van den Arend, and as a building displaying high artistic values exhibited in thousands of artistic tiles and terra cotta architectural features adorning its walls.  The architect created a visually stimulating building that would attract visitors, provide a canvass for the display of its decorative products, and incorporate beauty that would inspire its workers.
