Back then, this block was the place to be-right near the downtown business buzz, the train’s distant whistle at the railroad station, and the peaceful shade of Monument Valley Park. When they first built the homes at 312 and 320 North Cascade after the 1883 land subdivision, the neighbors must’ve admired their elegant turrets and deep porches, perfect for sipping lemonade while gossiping about the latest arrival in town.
As more folks arrived for health or adventure, some owners turned these homes into cozy boarding houses for hopeful tourists and the “infirm”-because there’s nothing like a mountain view cure, right? Yet, with all the changes, these houses have kept their original charm, and you can still see the shade of trees planted over a century ago rustling overhead. Boulder Crescent Place is living proof that good architecture, and maybe a little Colorado magic, never go out of style!
