LARIMER COUNTY
Fort Collins Masonic Temple
225 West Oak Street, Fort Collins
The 1927 Masonic Temple is the work of an important Colorado
artisan—architect William N. Bowman.
Bowman designed in a variety of styles, but most often favored revivalism, including Classical
Revival, Neoclassical and the Beaux-Arts styles. Working out of a
Denver office, he designed buildings across the state, including the
Weld County Courthouse in Greeley and the Jackson County Courthouse in
Walden. The Fort Collins Masonic Temple is a dignified example of
Classical Revival
architecture well suited for the use and traditions of a Masonic lodge.

LOGAN COUNTY
Wells Rock House
Padroni vicinity
The 1910 house is a good local example of an early twentieth
century masonry building constructed with native stone. The house
is one of the few remaining known examples of stone construction
in Logan County. Native stone from the surrounding area was used to
build the house and stone barn; the barn is no longer standing,
leaving only the house to convey the early history of this
homestead. Houses constructed of stone from the homesteading
period are somewhat rare in the county, making the Wells Rock
House an important local resource. (2007 photograph)
