Marble High School

The 1910 building features many Craftsman-style elements, including its overhanging eaves, "elephantine" porch piers of marble, and nine-over-single paned windows.  The school was built in response to a population increase related to the founding of the Colorado Yule Marble Company.  After 1917, the company cut operations, and the population of Marble dwindled considerably.

Marble City State Bank Building

Constructed in 1909, the first floor retail space of this simple vernacular, front gabled roof building originally housed a millinery shop.

Thumbnail

Haxby House

Constructed during the 1905-1917 building boom, the house is associated with the settlement of the town and the development of the local marble industry. 

Webster Building

The 1882 building was one of the first permanent masonry commercial structures in Gunnison’s downtown district.  It was constructed by Milo Matteson to house a retail store, operating under the name of Shilling and Company.  In 1889, Matteson sold the building to Herman Webster, who ran a business there until his death in 1920.

Vienna Bakery / Johnson Restaurant

Constructed in 1881 and in use almost continuously to the present day, the building has housed a number of businesses ranging from the bakery to a lunch room, law offices and notions store, as well as a restaurant for over 80 years.

Tenderfoot Archaeological Site

Located within the Upper Gunnison Basin, this multi-component prehistoric site has the potential to yield important information related to site function, chronology and seasonality of use, and subsistence and settlement patterns.

Leslie J. Savage Library

The library is an excellent example of the Spanish Colonial Revival style as executed by Temple Hoyne Buell, a prominent Denver architect, developer, and philanthropist. 

Thumbnail

Murray House

The 1902 wood frame Murray House is significant as one of Gunnison’s finest examples of the Queen Anne style.  The property’s complex floor plan, roof structure, and architectural detailing are typical of the style.

Haystack Cave

Formed by a volcanic vent, the tube-shaped cave is within the Sapinero Mesa Tuff.  Caves do not normally develop in this type of rock.  The cave is an important Pleistocene fossil site.

Gunnison River Bridge II

Designed in 1926 to cross the Gunnison River the Colorado Department of Highways, the 125- foot long steel rigid connected Pratt through truss was fabricated by American Bridge Company.
