Chaffee County Poor Farm (River Run Inn)

The two-story, hipped roof red brick building, a vernacular interpretation of the Colonial Revival style, was constructed in 1892.  A wood frame barn from the same period is also located on the site.

Thumbnail

Chaffee County Courthouse

Constructed in 1932, the courthouse is architecturally significant for its use of the Art Deco style.

Thumbnail

Brown’s Canyon Bridge

The 1908 Brown’s Canyon Bridge is significant for its engineering as an intact early example of a reinforced concrete slab and girder bridge.  With a design provided by the State Engineer’s Office, the completion of the bridge preceded the formal development of the highway commission in Colorado in 1909.

Thumbnail

Bode-Stewart House

The 1908 house is an excellent representation of the Edwardian style.  Similar to the Queen Anne style in massing, but with scaled down ornamentation, the house exemplifies the style with its asymmetrical composition, multiple gables, variety of construction materials, and wrap-around porch, all typical of Queen Anne.  However, the house reflects a transitional period of architecture through its incorporation of the more restrained ornamentation of classical influences favored in the early 20th century.

Thumbnail

Alexander House

The 1901 Alexander House contains several elements representative of late Queen Anne style residences, including elaborate ornamentation and an asymmetrical composition with multiple gables, angles, projections and heights. 

Thumbnail

Morley Bridge

Constructed by the Denver, South Park and Pacific Railroad in 1881, the Morley Bridge is Colorado’s oldest dateable vehicular truss. 

Thumbnail

Poncha Springs Schoolhouse

Completed in 1883, the T-plan building is a good local example of the Italianate style.  The two-story red brick building has stone quoins and a cross gabled roof that is topped with an open bell tower with a mansard roof.

Thumbnail

Hutchinson Ranch

Running more cattle than anyone else in the southern Arkansas River Valley, Joseph S. Hutchinson was one of the fabled cattle kings in early Colorado.  He made major contributions to the livestock industry as a successful cattle rancher.

Thumbnail

Rancho Antero

The property is an intact example of a vacation home associated with early tourism development in the Chalk Creek Gulch area west of Buena Vista. 

Thumbnail

Bridge over Arkansas River

Designed by the Colorado Department of Highways, this rigid-connected, six-panel steel Pratt deck truss was constructed by M.E. Carlson in 1937.
