The house is a rare brick example of the modest residences constructed by local coal miners and is associated with the town’s Italian heritage. 

This district, west of downtown Longmont, incorporates two neighborhoods, Thompson Park and Central School. 

Built in 1881, the red brick building has been painted white. 

This relatively simple 20th century Commercial Style, two-story, brick building exhibits a faint reference to the Colonial Revival style. 

Fort Garland is important for its association with the settlement of the San Luis Valley and southern Colorado.  Built in 1858, the fort served as a base of military operations until it was abandoned in 1883. 

The building housed Longmont’s first and only college from 1886 to 1889.

Benjamin C. Viney was the supervising architect for this 1913 one-story building, a simplified version of the Renaissance Revival style.

Constructed of brick in 1913, the terra cotta trimmed Tudor Revival style residence was designed by the acclaimed architectural firm of Roeschlaub & Son for the locally prominent family of Charles Lewis Hover.  The exterior includes Jacobethan detailing, while the interior’s extensive cabinetry reflects the influence of the Arts & Crafts Movement. 

The original facility, constructed in 1889 by John Howard Empson, was destroyed by fire in 1891. 

The district symbolizes the early period of growth as well as later development that took place on the east side of Longmont.  The district sits within the oldest residential area of Longmont and is associated with the "colony" period of the community’s development.
