Huerfano County High School
Huerfano County
The 1920 building (also known as Walsenburg Middle School) served the community for over 80 years as the center of middle and upper-level public school education. The building is the work of the noted Colorado architectural firm of Isaac Hamilton Rapp and William Mason Rapp.
Huerfano County High School
It is one of the few surviving public schools designed by the Rapp brothers. The high school is one of only two of the firm’s numerous southern Colorado projects to employ the Collegiate Gothic style. Although Walsenburg has six other buildings designed by this prolific firm, this is the town’s only example of the Collegiate Gothic style.
