National and State Register

Green Mountain Ranch

Jefferson County

The land was originally registered as a mining claim.  It later was homesteaded and cattle ranched by Edwin Eugene Culver.  The surviving one-story ranch house, with a medium pitch gabled roof, rests on a fieldstone foundation. 

The exterior walls were constructed with hand hewn square logs and half-dovetailed joints.  The original circa 1900 portion measured approximately 30 by 40 feet.  An expansion several years later, added a first floor living room and increased the space for bedrooms in the attic.
