Minnequa Steel Works Office Building and Dispensary, Colorado Fuel and Iron Company

The Minnequa Steel Works Office Building is a 1901 commercial complex featuring Spanish Mission-style buildings with smooth stucco walls and red-tiled roofs spread across the grounds. The structures reflect the regional architectural language of that era.

The main office building was constructed in 1901 as headquarters for the Colorado Fuel and Iron Company managing a major industrial operation. It symbolizes an era of intense industrial expansion in the region.

The museum in the former dispensary displays exhibits about coal mining, steel production, and regional industrial growth. Visitors can see how these industries shaped the daily lives of workers and their families.

The site is accessible for walking and viewing the architecture from outside while experiencing the location itself. Company records and photograph collections can be visited for research purposes.

The site preserves one of the last remaining wooden mine rescue cars in the United States. This vehicle shows what equipment was used long ago to protect miners in dangerous situations.
