McAllister House

Major Henry McAllister, close associate of William J. Palmer, hired Philadelphia architect George Sommers to design and build this large red brick residence during 1873-1874.  The property is open to the public as a museum.

Maytag Aircraft Building

Described as a “tidy form-meets-function design” and a “little masterpiece of local modernity,” the building, designed by local architects Dietz Lusk and James Wallace, is an important example of Modernism in Colorado Springs.  The building is distinguished by its folded plate roof, cantilevered walls of glazed turquoise brick, and an integral exterior courtyard.

Lowell Elementary School

The result of an ambitious ten-year community school building program, this impressive 1891 structure, with its 1902 addition, employs an unusual expression of the Romanesque Revival style.

Los Angeles Railway Streetcar No. 3101

The Los Angeles Railway (LARy) No.3101's Presidential Conference Committee (PCC) car design represents a major engineering development in rail-based surface street transportation.

Thumbnail

Lindley-Johnson-Vanderhoof House 

The 1892 Lindley-Johnson-Vanderhoof House is significant for its architecture as an excellent example of the Queen Anne style in Colorado Springs executed in stone and brick, as reflected in its steeply pitched gables, asymmetrical façade, use of multiple materials, circular tower and semi-decagonal bay, one-story porch extending into a terrace, and porte cochère.

Lennox House

Constructed in 1900 for a prominent businessman, the house became part of the Colorado College campus in 1936.  It is associated with the development of north Colorado Springs and subsequently played a significant role in the college’s history, serving as the Student Union from 1937 to 1959.

Knights of Columbus Hall (Colorado Springs)

The 1928 Knights of Columbus Hall was the site of numerous social and entertainment activities in Colorado Springs, including fraternal organization meetings and social gatherings, and public assemblies, particularly for young people and high school students.  In 1937 it became the first home of the Pioneer Museum, now known as the Colorado Springs Pioneers Museum.

Thumbnail

Jackson House

The 1900 Jackson House is associated with the development of the residential neighborhood directly east of Colorado College, an area of wealthy city residents who would became benefactors of the college.

Herschell Ideal Two-Abreast Carousel (Cheyenne Mountain Zoo Carousel)

This circa 1925, two-abreast, half-and-half, carousel was manufactured by the Allan Herschell Company and arrived at the zoo in 1937.

Thumbnail

Hagerman Mansion

James John Hagerman built this three-story Victorian mansion in 1885.  In 1927, it was converted into luxury apartments.  The original house was constructed of pink, rock-faced sandstone, and later sympathetic additions enhanced the architectural value of the whole.
