The 1922 Fairplay Hotel is the largest and longest lived hotel in town.  The hotel has provided accommodations and meals for travelers, tourists, sportsmen, workers, and the local community to the present day.  With ample public rooms and a central location (Fairplay is the county seat), the Fairplay Hotel has hosted a variety of meetings and functions such as dances and wedding receptions, as well as fraternal, livestock, and other local organizations.

Como School operated from the 1883 construction of the original, wood frame grade school building through 1948, the last year of its use as a public educational facility.  In addition to the hipped roof grade school, there is a small gabled roof building that was moved to the school grounds during the early 1930s to serve as a high school.  

The site contains the six-stall stone roundhouse, the I-plan two-story brick hotel, and the one-story frame depot.  The roundhouse and depot date to circa 1880 and the hotel to 1897. 

The Como Cemetery was established by the Town of Como in 1887, when a previous burial ground was closed due to its location just above a spring that provided water for some residents, leading to fears it was a possible source of water contamination. The Town Board enacted an ordinance requiring all burials in the old cemetery be removed to the new one. Como Cemetery provided funerary services for residents of Como, surrounding small settlements, and the broader rural ranching and mining area. 

The 1901 Rustic style resort hotel was constructed as a result of an increase in the promotion of tourism by real estate and railroad interests.

The district consists of a variety of structures including a stone lodge, several ranch related buildings, a depot, and a small railroad bridge.  

A good example of pioneer log construction, the 1864 cabin was built with v-notched, hand hewn squared logs.

The Paris Mill is significant in the area of industry, engineering and architecture, from 1895 when it first opened, to 1937, when mill operations ceased. The facility was instrumental in the success of the greater Paris Mine, a major gold producer important to western Park County. 

The 1925 Alma School, a rare local example of the Mission style, is significant as a symbol of the importance of education to the area’s residents and the involvement of the Public Works Administration in the funding of additions, designed by Frank Frewen, to the building in 1936.

This simple wood frame rural schoolhouse served as a school from 1921 to 1949.  Listed under Rural School Buildings in Colorado Multiple Property Submission.
