Grace Episcopal Church, Carpenter Gothic church in Georgetown, Colorado.
Grace Episcopal Church is a Carpenter Gothic structure in Georgetown featuring board and batten walls, pointed windows, and wooden braces. A distinctive spire rises prominently from the building, creating a recognizable silhouette visible from the nearby interstate.
Construction began in 1869 under architect D.H. Joy and was completed in 1870, despite wind damage during the building process. The structure was built during Georgetown's silver mining boom when the community expanded rapidly.
The congregation was established by immigrants from England, Wales, and Cornwall who settled in the area during the mining era. This heritage remains visible in how the building reflects the traditions these communities brought with them.
The building is open for visitors during Sunday services when you can explore the interior and view the architectural details up close. Check ahead about visiting times since availability may vary seasonally and on special occasions.
Inside stands Colorado's oldest working pipe organ, built in Denver in 1877 by C. Anderson. This instrument still produces music during services and remains a remarkable piece of musical history.
