This 1881 building bears the name of prominent Longmont resident William Henry Dickens.  

Constructed in 1892, this two and one half story Queen Anne style residence’s wood frame is faced with pressed red brick. 

A rare example of a wood frame terrace house, the eight unit building is flat roofed and faced in narrow clapboards which emphasize the vernacular Colonial Revival detail of the exterior.  

One of the last remaining examples of farm operations in Boulder County, the Shannon Farm is representative of the shift in agriculture from crop cultivation to dairy and egg production.

Constructed circa 1888, the house is associated with Mary Miller, the founder of the town of Lafayette.  In 1884, coal was discovered on the 1280 acre Miller farm.

One of the original miner’s homes constructed in the 1890s at the Gladstone Mine near Lafayette, it was moved to its present site after the start of the strike in 1910.

In 1900, the large two-story Lafayette House opened its doors for business, accepting both overnight guests and boarders. 

Nearly square in plan, with a steeply pitched hip roof, the house was built with enough rooms to accommodate coal miners as boarders, a common practice which helped supplement the owner’s income.  

The 1885 farmhouse, with its adjacent 1907 residence, is associated with the early settlement of rural Boulder County. 

Built in 1892, with funds provided primarily by town founder Mary Miller, this single story building with a steeply pitched roof, served the Lafayette coal mining families as a church meeting hall, hospital, and library.
