Buena Vista Depot / Denver, Leadville & Gunnison Railroad Buena Vista Depot
Chaffee County
One of the few extant Denver, South Park & Pacific Railroad (formerly Denver, Leadville & Gunnison) depots in the state, the 1891 Buena Vista Depot is also the last remaining intact depot in Chaffee County.
The wood-frame combination depot contains the station agent’s living quarters in addition to the passenger waiting room and freight area. The building is typical of first generation depot construction.
