Garret & Julia Gray Cottage

Chaffee County

The 1½ story wood frame residence is a good local example of the Queen Anne style.  Its asymmetrical massing is accented with a large bay window and a considerable amount of ornate wood trim.

The house was built for Garret and Julia Gray in 1882, during the early development of Salida as a thriving commercial center.  The Grays, early settlers in the area, owned and operated Salida’s first hotel, the New York House.
