Crawford School-Crawford Town Hall and Community Center
Delta County
First erected in 1906, the brown sandstone Crawford School was nearly wholly destroyed by a 1912 fire. Rebuilt the following year, and augmented in the 1930s by a Works Progress Administration (WPA) project, the school served the community for the next fifty years until the Town considered demolition in 2008 when a lack of occupants and funding left the building unused.
Fortunately, the impassioned citizens of Crawford argued for its survival, citing it as the “heart and soul” of the community. Today, with funding from the History Colorado State Historical Fund, the building will undergo roof stabilization and reshingling, upgrades to internal systems, improvements to energy efficiency, and restoration of historic features so that the Town may continue to provide a safe, functional, and attractive community center for Crawford and the surrounding area.
