162 S 4th St

Built in 1888, 162 S. 4th St sits on one of the smallest lots in town at 3000 square feet. The home itself is 782 square feet with a small addition on the northeast side. Homes of this style were heated with a central stove, as seen by the remaining original chimney. This house represents a pattern of development where a number of identical buildings were developed by a single investor on a single group of lots, typically as rental properties. Historical archive photos show that there were several mining camps across Colorado that had a series of identical homes.
