Colorado Mountain College (Breckenridge School)
1909, Eagleton and Mountjoy. 103 S. Harris St.
The facade of this red pressed brick school designed by Denver architects sports curvilinear parapets, third-story roundel windows with stained glass, and round-arched second-story windows. The town's investment of $20,000 in a fashionable building reflected hopes that prosperity had come to stay. In 1920 a gym, auditorium, and indoor swimming pool were added on the west. Over the years, the school “modernized” with interior elements such as acoustical tile. Built as a kinder-garten-through-twelfth-grade school, the building later became a firehouse and then the town hall before the new town hall opened on Ski Hill Road. It is now renovated as a home for the public library and Colorado Mountain College.
