Welcome to 950 East Columbia, a classic historic Victorian built @1893 during the town’s period of historical significance, defined as 1878 to 1913 and encompassing the peak of Telluride’s mining activity. In 1961, Telluride was recognized as a National Historic Landmark, one of only five Colorado communities to receive this honor. This property and corresponding shed were moved from the 100 block of E. Pacific Avenue (near the Wilkenson Public Library) to its current location in East Telluride in the 1980s. 

According to the town’s Historic and Architectural Review Committee, this dwelling is historically significant for its historic use as a "Female Boardinghouse" in Telluride's red light district during the 1890s and first two decades of the twentieth century. 

Charmingly restored, this move-in ready home features modern design elements throughout three bedrooms and two bathrooms.  All kitchens and bathrooms have been recently updated.  Enjoy the updated interiors and relax on the large south-facing deck looking up to the Bear Creek Preserve with fenced yard. A detached shed offers additional studio, office or retreat space.  Located in a walkable Town of Telluride neighborhood, you'll be directly across from Town Park festivals & dog friendly San Miguel River Trail and blocks away from Telluride's main street, Gondola and schools.
