Additional Property Attributes

The Idarado Houses are in the Red Mountain Mining District of southern Ouray County, adjacent to US 550 and a popular highway turnout and interpretive overlook. The houses are viewed by several thousand passing motorists every day, and often visited and occasionally entered by people visiting the interpretive site, including history buffs, tourists, hikers, and gawkers.
Ouray County's objective is to acquire ownership of the three houses, in conjunction with the Trust for Land Restoration (TLR) and the Ouray County Historical Society (OCHS), to assure their long-term stabilization and preservation, so that they may be enjoyed by countless thousands of locals and tourists alike and continue to help tell the story of Colorado's mining past.
