Elk Mountain Lodge (CF&I Boarding House)
1919. 200 Gothic Ave. (northwest corner of 2nd St.)
Until the 1950s some sixty-five coal miners lived in this rectangular, two-story stuccoed concrete building with a concrete foundation and a metal hipped roof. A full-width enclosed porch now wraps around the southeast corner, and a newer shed addition lies on the east. The lack of trim and detail suggests the utilitarian origins of what has become a tourist lodge.
Other company housing immediately to the west includes two stuccoed concrete-block supervisors' houses (1922), with hipped and truncated metal roofs. Four front-gabled frame bungalows (1926) have clapboard siding and square-cut wood shingles in the gable ends. All but one have lost their recessed, full-width front porches.
