Wild Basin Ranger Station & House 1932 3 room ranger station & 4 room seasonal residence
The Wild Basin Ranger Station is located in the southeastern portion of Rocky Mountain National Park, Colorado. Built in 1932, the ranger station is an example of National Park Service rustic architecture, built to plans by the National Park Service Branch of Plans and Design. The log structure is roofed with wood shingles and rests on a concrete foundation. The interior consists of three rooms, used for administrative and residential purposes.[2]
The station features a steeply-pitched gable roof, overhanging to form a porch at the front. The porch section of the roof is supported by corbeled logs at each end.[2] The ranger station was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in January 29, 1988.[1] The Wild Basin House, also listed on the NRHP, is located nearby.

Thunder Lake Patrol Cabin 1930
The Thunder Lake Patrol Cabin is a small structure in Rocky Mountain National Park, Colorado. Built in 1930, the 12-foot (3.7 m) by 16-foot (4.9 m) cabin may have been built as a simple shelter, but has more recently been used on an occasional basis as a backcountry patrol cabin in the Wild Basin area. The one story one-room log cabin is not used in the winter, but does have a stove with a stone fireplace. The main cabin is gable-roofed, with a small shed-roofed porch, and is a good example of the National Park Service rustic style. The logs are saddle-notched, projecting an increasing distance at their ends from top to bottom.[2]
The Thunder Lake Cabin was placed on the National Register of Historic Places on January 29, 1988.

Wild Basin House 1931 Five Room
The Wild Basin House was built in the southeastern corner of Rocky Mountain National Park in Colorado, USA in 1931. The log residence was built to plans provided by the National Park Service Branch of Plans and Designs at a cost of $2500, in the National Park Service rustic style. The one-story house measures 23 feet (7.0 m) by 31 feet (9.4 m), resting on a fieldstone foundation, with a shallow-pitched wood shingle roof. The interior comprises three rooms.[2]
The Wild Basin House was placed on the National Register of Historic Places on January 29, 1988.[1] The Wild Basin Ranger Station, also listed on the NRHP, is nearby.

Ryssby Church
Ryssby Church is located outside of Longmont in Boulder County, Colorado. The church was built in 1882 by Swedish immigrants, although it was disused between 1914 and 1924. A dedicated committee from First Lutheran Church, the descendant congregation of the Ryssby and Elim churches, maintains the church, organizes events and funds continuous improvement projects. The church hosts weddings, church picnics, an annual Midsummer service and Christmas candlelight services in early December.

History[edit]
In 1862, Sven J. Johnson, an agent for the White Star Line, along with Bengt Johnson, Aaron Peterson, Sven Magni, Peter Johnson, Lars J. Johnson and Samuel Gummeson, set off from their homeland in Ryssby, Sweden, to come to America seeking free land under the Homestead Act. In the first years, Sven's home, the only framed house, was the community center and served as a church. In 1875, a school house was built and the services moved there.[2]
In 1877, Rev. Frederick Lagerman came to the Ryssby settlement to be the spiritual leader, and in 1878 he organized a congregation among the settlers, calling it the "Swedish Evangelical Lutheran Congregation of Ryssby, Boulder County Colorado." The new congregation was affiliated with the Augustana Synod. In February 1878, the congregation officially called Rev. Lagerman to be their pastor and in January 1881, the congregation accepted the offer from Hugo Anderson for 3 acres (12,000 m2) of land on which to build the church. August Olander donated sandstone from his homestead to be used as building materials and by Oct. 31 of that year, the cornerstone of Ryssby church was laid.[3]
The church was finished and ready for occupancy on Midsummer Day of 1882 and a dedication ceremony for both the church and adjoining cemetery were held. The settlers strove to fashion the new Ryssby church from the church they had left in Ryssby Sweden with a tall tower in the front and four pointed windows along each side. The church was heated by a large stove, which heats the church to this day. A white railing circled the front altar under the domed barrel roof.
In 1908, the Elim congregation of nearby Longmont invited the Ryssby congregation to merge with them but this did not officially happen until 1914. The Ryssby congregation ceased to exist and the little country church was left empty. A lightning storm damaged the tower and it appeared that the Ryssby church would be left to crumble. In 1924, Rev. Luther Stromquist of the Elim congregation organized a group to repair the church and to again hold an annual Midsummer service there. With their efforts, Ryssby was made a state historical site in June 1933 with an official marker laid. In 1938, the annual Christmas services were reinstated at the church which continue to this day with great popularity.[3] In the 1960s a group of descendants funded a full restoration project where the tower was replaced, renovation and painting of the interior and new landscaping in the cemetery were carried out.

The Ryssby Church continues to be a part of the spiritual life of the area. Many weddings are held at the picturesque spot and families continue to bury their loved ones in its consecrated ground. There is an annual church picnic and service on Midsummer Day in June as well as the Christmas services held on the second weekend of December. The church is decorated by youth from First Lutheran Church and is lit by hundreds of flickering candles. Choirs from First Lutheran Church provide festive music and the birth story from the Gospel of Luke is read in Swedish. Improvements continue to be made at the church. Rusty Brockmann of Iron Age Arts, built a new footbridge with steel railings and gate that connect the parking lot and church grounds over the Swede ditch. The Lutheran Seal is worked into the gate. A new fence near the road was also created by Iron Age Arts with detailed historical designs outlined on four panels.

The Church of the Brethren, also known as the St. Vrain Church of the Brethren and the Old Dunkard Church, is an historic Church of the Brethren meeting house located on Hygiene Road (17th Avenue) in Hygiene in the St. Vrain Valley of Boulder County, Colorado. In 1874, formal organization of the Church of the Brethren was held at the ranch home of Mr. and Mrs. J. R. Ullery led by the itinerant preacher, James R. Gish.
The first influx of Brethren came to Colorado from Iowa, settling south of Hygiene in Pella, Colorado.[2] Rev. Jacob S. Flory left Greeley, Colorado with his wife and eight children to carry on the work of the church.[3]
In 1879 land was donated for the church. In 1880, the building was erected of rough cut stone, which came from Lyons and was laid in courses of unequal thickness. The total cost of construction, including donated labor, was $2,000. The Hygiene Cemetery surrounded the church, with the original Pella Cemetery lying to the south. Church services were suspended in 1907.[4]
In 2009 the church was deeded to the Hygiene Cemetery Association, which began the work of restoring it. It is the oldest Brethren church still standing in Colorado.[5][6][7][8][9]
In 1984, the church building and the land surrounding it were added to the National Register of Historic Places.[1] In 2004 the Hygiene Dunkard Church was awarded Landmark status in Boulder County.[10]

Longmont College
Longmont College, also known as The Landmark, is a building in Longmont, Colorado that briefly housed the city's first college from 1886 to 1889.[2] It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1987. The Presbyterian Synod of Colorado originally commissioned the design of a much larger building for the site to house what was to become Longmont Presbyterian College.[3] The south wing was built in 1886: a two-story brick building in the Italianate style.[4] Due to financial problems, this was the only wing completed, and the college closed after only three years, reopening as a preparatory school, Longmont Academy. The building later housed Longmont High School and a series of Catholic schools before being sold and subdivided into apartments during the post-World War II housing shortage.

St. Stephen's Episcopal Church
St. Stephen's Episcopal Church, 1881 is a historical church building in Longmont, Colorado. Also known to be middle of Longmont, Colorado back when it started to develop.
The church is now home to the St. Vrain Historical Society.
It was built of red brick which was later painted white.

Longmont Fire Department Station 1
The Longmont Fire Department Old Station 1 is a former fire station in Longmont, Colorado, United States. Constructed in 1907, it remained in use as a fire station until 1971. The fire station is owned by the City of Longmont but is now leased to the Firehouse Art Center.
In 1985, the station was listed on the National Register of Historic Places, qualifying because of its place in local history.[1][2]
In 1884, Longmont hung its fire department bell atop their first fire station located at 4th/Coffman. This bell, said to have cost $211, alerted the Longmont community of an emergency. In 1907, the first fire station was torn down to make room for the second station built in the same location in 1908. When the Terry St./11th firehouse was designed (currently Longmont Fire Station #1), the front was designed to mimic the front of the fire house on 4th/Coffman. Because of this design, the new fire house was able to house the early 1900 fire pole and bell once used to get early firefighters from the second floor to the street level.

The Old Stone Congregational Church, also known as the First Congregational Church of Lyons, is a historic church in Lyons, Colorado, built in 1894-5 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976.
The First Congregational Church was organized under the sponsorship of the First Congregational Church of Longmont in 1889, less than a decade after E. S. Lyon arrived in the area from Connecticut and bought 160 acres (65 ha) of land that include the original townsite of Lyons. Construction of the church building, on the northwest corner of 4th and High Streets, began in 1894 and was completed on September 23, 1895. The minister and members of the congregation contributed much of the necessary labor, in addition to money and materials. The principal building material was sandstone that was locally quarried, cut by hand and laid in horizontal courses of irregularly sized blocks. The National Register nomination notes that much of the work on the building was done by master stonecutters with the result that the "cutting and fitting [of the stone] is exceptionally well executed."[2] The walls are 20 inches (51 cm) thick.[2]
The facade is asymmetrical with the church's principal door leading into the base of a single tower. The door has a semicircular arch of radiating stone voussoirs. Central to the facade are a pair of windows topped by horizontal stone lintels. A decorative feature of the facade is the large arch of voussoirs which rises above the windows. In the gable is an ocular ventilation opening framed by voussoirs and set with louvres.[2] The tower rises to a stone course at the height of the gable, above which is a louvred chamber with a "candle-snuffer" roof.
For more than ten years after the completion of the building (until a Methodist church was built in town), this was the only church in Lyons.[2] At the time of its National Register listing, the congregation was affiliated with the United Church of Christ, but it no longer identifies itself with that denomination.[2][3]

Salina School 1875
The Salina School, also known as the Salina Schoolhouse, is a one-room schoolbuilding in the former mining town of Salina in Boulder County, Colorado built around 1875 or 1876.[3] It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.
Throughout the mining boom, the schoolhouse functioned as a hub of social activity in Salina, hosting dances, box socials, and other community activities.[4] Today the building is owned by the Salina Community Association, a nonprofit group of local residents, and maintained as a space for classes, films, concerts, and other community events

Little Church in the Pines 1908
The Little Church in the Pines is a c. 1902-1908 building in the former mining town of Salina in Boulder County, Colorado.[3] The church held regular Sunday School classes for children, and services whenever a traveling minister came to town.[4] As the mining boom came to an end and the town's population shrunk, the building fell into disuse, and briefly served as a mine office before being abandoned.[5] In 1948 it was purchased by a neighborhood group and has been used ever since for nondenominational worship and community events.[5] The Little Church in the Pines was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.
During the 2013 Colorado floods, the ground washed out from underneath half of the building, including the bell tower, and emergency supports had to be installed to stabilize the structure until a new foundation could be built and the area refilled

Walker Ranch Territory

Walker Ranch Town .55Per 5.16Ac
The Walker Ranch is a historic ranch in Boulder County, Colorado. The ranch was built by James A. Walker, who first settled in the Boulder area in 1865. Walker and his family initially lived in a log cabin on the ranch, which was built in 1865. In 1881, Walker and his family built and moved to a new ranch house. Walker engaged in a number of business ventures on the ranch and leased parts of the ranch to other businessmen, and the enterprises which took place on the ranch represent many of the region's industries at the time. Walker mainly raised cattle and milled lumber on the property, and an English firm mined gold using a cyanide mill; payments from the latter operation allowed Walker to eliminate his debt and purchase additional land for the ranch. Of the remaining historic buildings on the ranch, eleven are from Walker's homestead and his ranching operations, fourteen were part of Walker's sawmill operations, and fourteen are related to the cyanide mill. The ranch also includes five archaeological sites; three of these are remnants of aboriginal settlement in the area and two of these are Arapahoe sites, including a site Walker may have shared with the Arapahoe when he first came to the area.[2]

The ranch was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1984 as the Walker Ranch Historic District.[1] In 1988, two additional parcels of land were determined to be associated with the ranch's historic activities and were added to the historic district

Wall Street Assay Office
The Wall Street Assay Office is a historic commercial building related to precious metal mining in the western outskirts of Boulder, Colorado in an area known as Wall Street.[2] Once a thriving mining town in Boulder County's foothills area, Wall Street is now home to a few dozen residential properties scattered among the remnants of the Storm King mine. The Wall Street Assay Office sits on Four Mile Canyon Dr, now preserved as the James F. Bailey Assay Office Museum.
The Wall Street area was home to a variety of metal mining activities in the late 1800s, including a small camp named Delphi. Charles Caryl visited the area in 1889, returned east to raise money, and opened the Gold Extraction Mining and Supply Company in present-day Wall Street in 1897. The Assay Office was constructed along with a store and boarding house, a large mill was built in 1901. The operation failed two years later. The assay office was purchased at a sheriff's sale by James Bailey in 1907. It was used as the office of the Storm King Mine, and later converted into a residence for the Bailey family

Ward Congregational Church, at 41 Modoc in Ward, Colorado, was built in 1894-95 and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.[1][2]
Also known as Ward Community Church, it was listed in 1989 as part of the "Metal Mining and Touris Era Resources of Boulder County" multiple property submission. In its nomination it was asserted to be architecturally significant "because of its intact design, materials and workmanship which are typical of the building traditions of the period and make it an excellent example of the style of construction used for community buildings during this time in Boulder County."
