historic landmark.

Columbus is the County Seat of Colorado County.

The County Courthouse

was built in 1891.

This is the Old Water Tower.

Built in 1883, the first floor 

addition housed the 

horse-drawn Fire Truck.

It now houses the War Memorial 

Museum.

The Old Stafford Opera House was

built by Millionaire Banker &

Cattleman Robert E. Stafford

in 1886.

Mr. Stafford also built this ornate

Victorian house, next to the

Operahouse in 1886.

He could watch performances

from his bedroom window.

I would love to know what

OOF means on this building.
