Old Colorado City, Historic district in Colorado Springs, United States
Streets lined with 19th-century brick buildings house specialty stores, art galleries, dining establishments, and local craft shops in Colorado Springs's western district.
Founded in 1859 during the Pikes Peak Gold Rush, this settlement served as the capital of Colorado Territory and supplied miners heading to nearby gold fields.
The National Register of Historic Places designation protects numerous architectural structures, including former merchant houses, churches, and the original town hall building.
Walking tours pass by 30 interpretive signs that explain the district's evolution from mining supply center to modern commercial and artistic neighborhood.
The district maintains many original structures from its gold rush era, with former mining supply stores transformed into contemporary retail and dining spaces.
