This Gorgeous Victorian Home is located in the beautiful valley just north of Ouray. It is surrounded by the majestic San Juan Mountains and is on the National Historic Registry. Construction on the home started in 1886 and was completed in 1888 by George Andrew Jackson who is credited with discovery of the first commercial deposits of gold in Colorado. Locals lovingly refer to the house as the Poor Farm due to its history as a place for indigent and sick miners from 1914 - 1937. It was later purchased in the 1950s and became a private residence. In 2000 the home was purchased by a local judge and builder, who started an amazing 10 year restoration project which included completely new plumbing, electric, interior walls with foam insulation, a copper roof, new sub-floors, a central heating and cooling system, and new doors and windows. The former owners who purchased the home in 2011, completed the restoration in 2013. The property is truly a must see to appreciate the dedication and hard work that went into this transformation. The custom walnut millwork throughout the home was crafted by a local artisan and adorns interior doors, windows, and baseboards along with all cabinets. Much of the original gingerbread still graces the exterior along with original components of the staircase which rises to the second level upon entry into the foyer. Marble and wood floors are throughout. Reproduction Heartland appliances in the kitchen include two ovens, a broiler, and a warming dra
