Reimer-Smith Oil Station

The 1927 Reimer-Smith Oil Station is an excellent intact example of a rapidly disappearing form of the 1920s era "house with canopy"type of gas station.  The station is also an important example of the use of pressed metal as an interior and exterior wall treatment.

Phillips County Courthouse

Constructed by the Public Works Administration (PWA), the Phillips County Courthouse represents President Roosevelt’s New Deal legislative agenda to bring America out of the Great Depression.  The courthouse is the only surviving PWA project in Phillips County and the most intact of all the county’s New Deal projects.

Millage Farm Rural Historic District

In the family since 1906, Millage Farm district occupies 160 acres. The property is locally significant for agriculture for its long association with dryland farming and livestock production in Phillips County for the period 1906-1963.

W.E. Heginbotham House (Holyoke Public Library)

Will Heginbotham hired contractor Michael McEachern in 1919 to construct this one-and-one-half-story building of red molded brick, with half timbered gable ends.  The site consists of the late Craftsman Style house finished in 1921, a matching garage and covered gateways, and landscaped grounds.

Thumbnail

Hargreaves Homestead Rural Historic District

The 320-acre Hargreaves Homestead district has been family owned since its establishment.  Henry Hargreaves, an emigrant from Liverpool, England, filed a pre-emption claim on the southwest quarter of the section in spring 1887.  Hargreaves’ highly successful farming and ranching operation was touted in circa -1920s promotional brochures published by the railroad.

Shirley Hotel (Haxtun Inn)

Constructed in 1921, the two-story, dark red brick building has a long association with the commercial history of Haxtun. 

Thumbnail

First National Bank of Haxtun (Haxtun Town Hall)

The 1917 bank closed in 1932 as part of the general economic collapse during the Great Depression.  The city purchased the building in 1939 for use as the city hall.  It is a good example of the Neo-Classical style and includes marble pilasters, pediments, and cornices.

Thumbnail

Harms Farm

The Harms Farm family farming operation reflects farming trends in Phillips County between the 1910s boom and the evolution from diversified farming to more specialized farming operations in the mid-twentieth century.  Although the land was originally claimed the land under the Timber Culture Act in 1894, the current farm dates to 1917 with crops of dryland wheat, corn, and millet.  Additionally, livestock consisted of sheep, dairy cows, chickens, and hogs.

Thumbnail

Evergreen Corner Rural Historic Landscape

The Evergreen Corner Rural Historic Landscape is significant for its association with the development agriculture in Phillips County from the farming boom of the 1910s through the agricultural changes of the mid-twentieth century.  Though the land was originally homesteaded in 1887, it passed through a series of non-resident land owners for the next three decades until purchased by Henry Flaker in 1917.  Flaker is responsible for establishing the farmstead as it appears today, constructing the house, barn, tankhouse, and outhouse for his hog farm.

Thumbnail

St. Paul’s Lutheran Church

The 1931 church was designed by prominent Denver architect Eugene G. Groves and continues to serve the congregation.  The front gabled roof one-story brick building rests on a slightly raised concrete basement.  On the façade, a tripartite segmental arched stained glass window, surrounded by cast stone trim, is centered above the small front gabled entry.
