Jacob Kramer acquired the initial 160 acres of this property in Weld County north of Brighton in 1904 by purchase from the Schloo family. The property was divided between Jacob's two sons in 1920. Edward Kramer, grandfather of the current fourth-generation owners Sandra Storm and Vicki Bilak, raised sugar beets, corn, alfalfa, wheat and oats, as well as vegetables that were sent to the Kuner Canning Company. As if that wasn't enough to keep anyone plenty busy, he also kept a small dairy, and sold and butchered calves, turkeys, chickens and pigs.

The Hoover Family Ranch was homesteaded in 1904 by Emma and Thomas Hoover, grandparents of Thomas, the current owner. They lived in a dugout until building a more substantial house in 1913, which still survives. The original 160 acre parcel near Rush in far eastern El Paso County has grown to 440 acres. In the early years, the Hoovers raised chickens and kept milk cows, and grew potatoes and feed. Today,  cattle, wheat and feed keep the Hoovers busy. They also maintain several other buildings including a 1911 livestock barn, and chicken houses built in 1910 and 1914.

Charles Henry Fischer homesteaded the Fischer Ranch in Jackson County near Walden in 1898. Also known as the Sled runner Ranch, Fischer's son Albert expanded the property by 400 acres. And his son Ward added additional acreage, bringing the total to its current level of 1,240 acres. The property was, and remains, a working cattle ranch under its fourth-generation owners Scott and Jean Fischer. They live in a lovely home, built in 1917. And the property also features a windmill dating from 1900, a bunkhouse built in 1901 and other historic outbuildings.

The Bender farm in northern Larimer County near Wellington was acquired by Henry Bender 100 years and two weeks ago. He immediately had a house built, and began planting the following year. Early crops included a variety of grains, alfalfa, and sugar beets. Over the years, corn, barley and pinto beans were added. And with the development of a cattle business, more than 300 acres of grazing land were added to the original parcel. At its height, the farm included a small dairy. But in the 1960's the acreage was reduced back to its original 80 acres.

The Manzanola United Methodist Church is located on the northeast corner of South Park Street and East 2nd Street in a residential section of Manzanola, CO. The church is a single-story, wood-framed building, with a concrete foundation. Built in 1908 in the Gothic Revival style with regional vernacular influences it is a well preserved example of an Akron plan church.

Located at 2815 North Madison Street in the Skyland neighborhood of Denver, the Owl Club Building is a rectangular-plan single-story modernist building. 

Harry and Emma Pearson acquired 320 acres of prime farmland in La Plata County back in 1901. Although half of that land was submerged in the construction of the Vallecito Reservoir north of Bayfield, and other land has been sold, the remaining 110 acres produce more than 40 tons of hay and an annual calf crop of 20 to 25 head. The application adds "we run 25 head of mother cows, and many great-grandchildren".

Harry L. Wells purchased his 160 acres parcel from the Union Pacific Railroad in 1901. He planted barley, oats and potatoes at first, later following the trend toward raising sugar beets in rotation, followed by pinto beans. Today, Harry's son Jackson and Lillian Wells raise corn silage to serve a cattle feedlot at another location. The Wells Ranch in Weld County east of Greeley includes many historic buildings, including a house, bunkhouse, granary, root cellar, chicken house and privy dating to before 1905.

This Weld County farm was originally owned by four brothers: George, John, Otto and Edward Stieber. They acquired the property in 1901. There are 320 acres, including 15 acres of dry land, 150 acres of prime irrigated farm land, and 155 acres of river bottom pasture. Over the years, the Stieber Farm has produced a cornucopia of farm products including sugar beets, corn, sweet corn, alfalfa and grass hay, wheat, oats, onions, celery, tomatoes, broccoli, cabbage, dairy cows, beef cows, and much more. The current owners are George and Gwen Stieber, G. Ron Neely and G. Don Neely.

Another property that is probably feeling the pressure of development, the Shonts Ranch is located just outside of Colorado Springs in El Paso County. Harvey David Shonts acquired the original claim here in 1889, and at one time the property grew to more than 1,400 acres in size. Harvey's namesake and great-grandson is the current owner of more than 250 acres of that ranch, which continues in its original use as pasture for beef cattle. The other owners are Beverly J. Shonts, and Ernest and Izetta Shonts.
