Colorado Springs Day Nursery, Tudor Revival school building in Colorado Springs, United States
The Colorado Springs Day Nursery features steep roofs and decorative half-timbering elements, situated at 104 East Rio Grande Street in downtown Colorado Springs.
Founded in 1897 by fourteen women, the nursery charged 10 cents for the first child and 5 cents for additional children during its early operating years.
Alice Bemis Taylor funded the construction of this building in memory of her mother, Alice Cogswell Bemis, distributing gold pieces to construction workers upon completion.
The facility now operates as Early Connections Learning Centers, providing educational services for up to 171 children between ages 2.5 and 14 in five classrooms.
Workers who constructed the building in 1923 received $20 gold pieces as appreciation gifts, equivalent to approximately $250 in 2009 currency.
