Black Forest School

Constructed in 1921, the building is a late example of a log rural schoolhouse. 

Thumbnail

Black Forest Community Church

The Black Forest Community Church consists of the original 1940 log church building with bell tower, a good example of the Pioneer Log type, and the 1962 sanctuary building, an example of the Modern Movement style with laminated-wood piers, cross-gabled projecting roof lines, and stained glass windows by local artist Al Wynne.

Little Fountain Creek Bridge

The steel multiplate structure fabricated by Thompson Manufacturing Company supports two barrel arches, each spanning 15 feet.  Faced with well crafted stonework, including cut stone voussoirs and keystones, the bridge appears as a true stone arch structure.

First Presbyterian Church of Ramah

The 1916 Mission style church is a one-story stuccoed building designed by architect George M. Bryson.

Black Squirrel Creek Bridge

The 226-foot long bridge features a 150-foot long steel rigid connected Parker through truss as its main span.

Palmer Lake Star

The Palmer Lake Star sits on a 1.5-acre site on Sundance Mountain.  The mountainside, which has a 58 percent slope, provides the ideal location to provide maximum exposure for the five-point star.  Thirty galvanized steel posts hold the electrical wiring, the 91, 40-watt light bulbs light bulbs, support cables, and connectors.  Depending on the terrain, the posts range from 3 feet to 8 feet tall.  The star, built over a three month period, was initially designed using surveyor transits and measuring devices.  Once complete, it did not appear as a symmetric five-poin

Monument Nursery

Inez Johnson Lewis School

The original 1920 portion of this two-story brick Mission style building was designed by Colorado Springs architects MacLaren and Hetherington. 

Thumbnail

Green Mountain Falls Gazebo

The Gazebo stands on a small island in the middle of a man-made lake.  Designed as a scenic attraction for visitors arriving by train and a complement to a nearby resort hotel, the gazebo was built in about 1888 when the area was being developed as a summer resort.  The Gazebo is a good example of a type of structure popular during the late Victorian period.

Thumbnail

Joseph and Rosa Wilson Farmstead

The Joseph and Rosa C. Wilson Farmstead is a good example of one of the few remaining farming complexes in the area that contain the farmhouse, outbuildings, and rural landscape that typified early-twentieth-century agriculture in the region.
