Historic District
Breckenridge’s National Register Historic District was formed in 1980 and is one of the largest in the state of Colorado. The Town of Breckenridge completed Cultural Resource Surveys for buildings and structures within the Historic District to assess the properties’ eligibility for individual listing in the National and State Registers, for local landmark designation, and whether or not they qualify for National Register listing as contributing resources.
Surveys include historical and architectural information for each building and structure. Surveyed properties are widely-dispersed throughout the Historic District, including addresses on Adams, French, Harris, High, Main and Ridge Streets; on Lincoln and Washington Avenues; and on Ski Hill Road. Properties are in the following historically platted additions and subdivisions: Abbett’s, Bartlett and Shock, Snider, Stiles, Valley Brook Cemetery, and Yingling and Mickles. The survey area comprises approximately 72 acres.
For general information on the Historic District or for permits to construct, remodel or alter any building within the Historic or Conservation District, visit the Town of Breckenridge Community Development Department website or call 970-453-3160 to speak with a planner.
