Destroyed by fire in 1976

Reportedly the last bridge by the prolific Pueblo Bridge Company, this 1932 two-ribbed, reinforced concrete, open spandrel deck arch in Fountain Canyon was designed by King Burghardt.

The 1930 Yuma Public Library played an important role in the social history of Yuma.  Construction of the building was spearheaded by the Yuma Woman’s Club.

The Schramm Building-Sheedy Hall is significant for playing an essential role in Yuma’s commercial history. 

John Lett constructed the simple two-story wood frame building with its inviting wrap-around porch in 1916.

With its ground floor dedicated to commercial endeavors, the second-floor of this simple frame building functioned as the first meeting hall in Otis--the scene of musicals, Chautauqua events, and public forums.

In 1918, after many problems with area wells, the town committed itself to establish a water system that would be independent of the railroad and provide the dependable water supply necessary for town safety and future growth.  The pump house and first wells were constructed in 1919.

The historic economic base of the Colorado high plains is agriculture, and the commercial districts of small towns like Otis prospered or languished in harmony with surrounding farm and ranch families.  

The 1892 wood frame commercial building long contributed to the commercial success of this high plains agricultural community.

Constructed in 1938, this concrete rigid frame structure is associated with the development of US Hwy. 36, an important tourist and commercial route linking Denver and the eastern plains of Colorado with communities in Kansas and the Midwest.
