Telluride Historic District
Telluride Historic District, Heritage district in Telluride, Colorado, US.
The district spans 80 acres of downtown Telluride, featuring preserved Victorian-era buildings, narrow streets, and the Lone Tree Cemetery.
Silver mining transformed this mountain settlement into a commercial center after 1875, leading to rapid development and architectural expansion until 1913.
The district includes Colorado Street's commercial structures and residential areas, reflecting social stratification through building locations and architectural styles.
The Historic Preservation Department enforces guidelines for property modifications, ensuring new developments align with the area's 19th-century character.
The district maintains several small wooden structures known as bordello cribs, which served as temporary workplaces for local prostitutes.
