HISTORIC RESOURCES OF COLORADO COLLEGE
THEMATIC RESOURCE/MULTIPLE PROPERTY SUBMISSION

Colorado College, founded in 1874 as an independent, coeducational liberal arts college, is significant as one of the first degree-granting institutions in Colorado. Its establishment is associated with General William Palmer, founder of Colorado Springs, and Henry McAllister, a director of the Colorado Springs Company, both of whom donated land along Cascade Avenue for use as a campus.

Architecturally, the historic buildings on the campus are some of the most important in the city. They include examples of the Romanesque and Classical Revival as well as the English-influenced styles popular during the "Little London" period in Colorado Springs' development. In addition, the location of the college influenced development in the north-central portion of the city. The prestige of the college and the high architectural quality of its buildings is also reflected in the surrounding residential neighborhood. (Accepted by National Register in 1986, Revised 1997)
