First Baptist Church of Moffat

The 1911 building is an excellent example of the use of on-site formed, panel-faced ornamental concrete blocks in a small but elegant church building.  The irregular plan and cross-gabled roof building is also noteworthy for its primary and secondary steeples and its use of pressed metal roof shingles and siding.

Carnero Creek Pictographs

There are several recognizable motifs on these pictograph panels, including spirals, crescents, bird tracks, ladders, and stick and animal figures.  Like most rock art, it has the potential to provide information regarding ceremonial practices, such as shamanism.

Thumbnail

Capilla de San Juan Bautista

The adobe church with its steeply pitched roof, lancet windows, and prominent bell tower is an example of Territorial Adobe style architecture with Gothic Revival influences.  Replacing an earlier church that burned, construction began in 1912 and was not completed until 1923. 

Thumbnail

Crestone School

Constructed during the 1880s, clapboards were installed over the original board and batten siding in 1901.

Thumbnail

Pyramid Guard Station

United States Forest Service (USFS) administrative sites like the Pyramid Guard Station represent the evolution of the agency’s mission from basic custodianship to extensive resource management and conservation.  This shift manifested itself in the placement of ranger/guard stations within the forests, allowing rangers to react quickly to resource threats.  The Pyramid buildings represent the 1930s Civilian Conservation Corps / USFS ethics of conservation, efficiency and working for the public good.

Fremont Lookout Fortification Site

The lookout is on the eastern periphery of the Fremont cultural area which was occupied from AD400 until AD1150 by agricultural peoples who cultivated corn, beans and squash.

Thumbnail

Collage Shelter

This repeatedly utilized cultural site has the potential to yield important information about prehistoric land use patterns and population movements between core and marginal use areas. 

Thumbnail

Carrot Men Pictograph Site

The cliffs above this prehistoric campsite retain rock art typical of the Fremont people who resided in Utah and central and western Colorado from AD 800 to 1150.

Thumbnail

Cañon Pintado Historic District

Because of the arid nature of the area, the archeological sites within the district are well preserved. 

Thumbnail

St. James Episcopal Church

Constructed in 1890, this stone building was the first church in Meeker and one of the oldest Episcopal churches in Colorado.  The main entrance is topped by a unique bell tower faced with wood shingles.
