“1879 Avery House is the flagship property of the Poudre Landmarks Foundation. The house was constructed in 1879 and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1972. Avery founded First National Bank and was instrumental in developing water projects that enabled agriculture to flourish in northern Colorado. The Avery family members lived in the house until 1962. The house and its stable structure are two contributing buildings on the property. 1879 Avery House has a costume collection of pieces from the Avery family and local donors on display. The two-story house is maintained by the Fort Collins Landmark Commission to be one of the city's finest remaining examples of the colorful buildings done during its early days and of High Victorian Gothic.”
