A Walking Tour in Old Longmont: History Through the Lens of Architecture

By Richard Jacobi

This book leads you on a half-day guided walking tour through Longmont's historic eastside neighborhood, the first neighborhood fully settled in the preplanned community that started under the name of the Chicago Colorado Colony. Trivia buffs and denizens of the city can learn where street names and place names in Longmont and the surrounding area originated, as well as lots of interesting details about the earliest years of the community. Pictures of homes, explanations of the architectural styles, and brief stories of the homes' builders together weave a story of the settlement of Longmont and the utopian colony that preceded it, which was settled 5 years before the Colorado territory became a state
