This may be the only round barn in Colorado today.  Round barns and silos were popular in the first decade of the 20th century, largely in the Midwest.  The rafters on the interior converge toward the center with an impressive dizzying effect.  The barn is an example of new techniques used by dry land farmers on Colorado’s plains; it was originally built to be a silo but was later converted for use as a barn.

The Commandant of Cadets Building is the most intact remaining resource associated with the original site of the U.S. Air Force Academy at Lowry Air Force Base from 1955 to 1958. 

The building, which consists of a 1926 parish hall and a 1930 sanctuary addition, is an example of the Mission Revival style as evidently its smooth stucco walls, curvilinear parapets, and round-arched window openings.

onstructed between 1922 and 1928, the church is an interesting interpretation of the Mission style designed by prominent architect Robert Willison.

This towering red sandstone structure, in the Richardsonian Romanesque style, was jointly designed by E.B. Gregory and noted New York architect Stanford White. 

Constructed in 1929, the two-story, blond brick Union High School served as the first high school for the Westminster community. 

The circa 1925 Savery Savory Mushroom Water Tower marks the site of a prosperous and extensive mushroom growing and canning business.  

Located about eight miles west of Alamosa, it is the third school at this location.  Built in 1911, the Mt. Pleasant School building served as the area’s only school until 1965 and the last one-room school in the Alamosa vicinity. 

The Metzger Farm, an intact complex of farmhouse, caretakers’ house, barn, outbuildings, gardens, lakes, crop fields/pasture and equipment, is agriculturally significant as an excellent example of a mid-twentieth century hobby farm. 

Constructed in 1936 with a terra cotta facade and stylized ornamentation, the two-story brick building possesses the distinctive characteristics of Art Deco, a style not well represented in Alamosa County or in other small towns across Colorado.
