Charles Deaton Sculptured House

The Sculptured House is exceptionally significant for its high quality modernist design.  The work of self-taught Colorado architect and engineer Charles Deaton, the 1966 Sculptured House occupies a key place in the history of Colorado architecture as one of the most widely recognized and respected modernist buildings in the state.  The house includes many of the defining characteristics of post-war Expressionist design, a stylistic variant of modernism.

Herman Coors House

In 1919, master architect, Jules J.B. Benedict incorporated a circa 1912 bungalow into his inspired design for this mountain lodge-like residence located in an established residential area near the campus of the Colorado School of Mines.

Colorado Midland Railway Observation Car No. 111

The Colorado Midland purchased the car from the Pullman Car Co. in 1887 for use as a first class coach.  It is one of the few surviving passenger cars from the railroad.

Colorado Amphitheater

Camp George West Historic District

Established in 1903, Camp George West served as the Colorado Army National Guard’s only permanent training facility.  The predominately stone and frame buildings constructed between 1903 and 1945 reflect the use of standard Army plans as well as unique designs by Guard architects for specific projects.
