Pedro-Botz House
Chaffee County
The 1904 Pedro-Botz House is a good example of a modest log house with Late Victorian ornamentation located in an area known as Smeltertown, where employees of the Ohio and Colorado Smelter lived in close proximity to their work.
Constructed by Hungarian immigrants Stephen and Annie Pedro, it later was the long-time residence of the Yugoslavian immigrant family of Frank and Josephine Botz. The men of both families worked for the smelter and were among the many Austro-Hungarian Empire immigrants who were employed there. As such, the house is also locally significant for its association with this European ethnic heritage.
