Avery House is the flagship property of the Poudre Landmarks Foundation. The house was built in 1879 and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1972. In 1974, the Poudre Landmarks Foundation bought the house for $79,000. Avery founded First National Bank and was instrumental in developing water projects that enabled agriculture to flourish in northern Colorado. Members of the Avery family lived in the house until 1962. The house and its stable structure are two contributing buildings on the property. The house has costume collection pieces from the Avery family and local donors on display. The two-story house is asserted by the Fort Collins Landmark Commission to be "one of the city's best remaining examples of the colorful construction done during its early days and of High Victorian Gothic.

AVERY HOUSE REVIEWS
The Avery house has some knowledgeable docents.We toured the Kitchen. We saw a cast iron stove that also served another purpose; cooking up the wash! We got music on our tour. There was a piano and an organ. And our docent put them to good use. It was a thought provoking tour with a deep look into the early 1900s. Everyone had questions. Our guide was full of insight from a passion for knowledge of Fort Collins History. I will be going back for the same tour to hope I can retain more infomation! Thank you Mrs. Rueter!!!
Beautiful house and the tour is full of awesome FoCo history and great stories!
Pretty nice house from the outside, we don't have the chance to go in there.

FORT COLLINS MUSEUM OF ART REVIEWS
Beautiful museum, highly recommend, but I would really love to see more variety in their exhibits. The first week I lived in Fort Collins they had a beautiful Picasso and Dali exhibit. They have great little exhibits from time to time. Hopefully they’re finally done with the mask art and the sweater art exhibits that went on for what seemed an eternity. Can’t wait to go back!
Stopped by on a whim thanks to a free sponsored entry. They had an extensive and beautiful masks exhibit and fundraiser. Cute museum with a gift shop and interactive area themed after the exhibit.
Amazing. Beautiful art, showcasing local artists and timeless masters in a combination of events and rotating local features. Wonderful atmosphere.

THE CENTER FOR FINE ART PHOTOGRAPHY REVIEWS
Always worth a visit to any of the Center's many exhibitions (they partner with other spaces in the area so locations vary). The juried shows are always of the highest caliber and the curated exhibitions demonstrate as keen an eye for great art as I've seen anywhere.
C4FAP consistently shows high quality work from all over the world. I always look forward to seeing their new exhibitions.
Very Supportive group for photography artists!
