First Congregational Church (Pueblo)

Fred A. Hale is credited as the architect of this 1889 Romanesque style church of random coursed red sandstone.  Defining features include a corner entry bell tower and a circular transept with arched windows.

Elson Bridge (New Location)

Originally crossing the Purgatoire River in Las Animas County, in 1993, the 150-foot span faced demolition due to its deteriorating condition and low load capacity.

El Pueblo

El Pueblo, occupied from 1842 to 1854, is important for its association with the exploration and settlement of what became Colorado and the larger Rocky Mountain West; for its association with commerce and trade, both in the local area and as part of a regional trail system; and for its association with the social history of the upper Arkansas River, a multi-ethnic, multi-cultural, and multi-national population.

Edison School

A multi-purpose central building and two single classroom "unit school houses" were constructed in 1909.  Two more "units" and a four classroom building were added in 1923.  

Thumbnail

Nathaniel W. Duke House

This two-and-a-half-story brick Queen Anne residence was designed in 1889 by Denver architect Fred A. Hale.  Its most notable feature, a large oversized three-story tower at the southeast corner of the home, affords one of the finest views of the city and mountains to the west.

Doyle Settlement / White House / Casa Blanca

Dating from circa 1859, Joseph Doyle’s settlement now lies in ruins.  It was a self contained unit including a main residence, dining facility, store, housing for laborers, flour mill, blacksmith shop and granaries.

Colorado State Hospital Superintendent’s House

Completed circa 1934, the two-story Mediterranean style residence has white stucco walls and a red tile roof.

Colorado State Fairgrounds

The fairgrounds have long been a gathering place for the state’s agricultural community and have also served as a vehicle to educate, promote and entertain the public about Colorado agriculture.  Since 1901, farmers and stock men and women have come to the annual exposition at this location to display and compare their products, to see and learn about the latest advances in agricultural technology and techniques, and to purchase quality livestock.

Colorado Fuel & Iron Company Mine Rescue Car No. 1

Built in 1882 as a Wagner Palace Sleeping Car, the Pullman Company modified the rail car in 1910 for the U.S. Bureau of Mines’ program to improve mine safety and rescue operations in Colorado’s coal mines.  It is one of only two such cars left in the country.  Six were outfitted by the Bureau to serve as educational centers and rapid response rescue stations.

Wray Lions Amphitheater

The 1976 Wray Lions amphitheater is the only open-air natural amphitheater known to exist in northeastern Colorado.  Nestled within the canyon walls of the caliche bluffs on the southeastern edge of Wray, the amphitheater is a geographic focus point for the area.
