Sandstone Ranch
Weld County
Morse H. Coffin built the ranch beginning in the early 1880s. The complex includes nine farm structures and a quarry. The vernacular Second Empire style house was built in the early 1880s using sandstone from the nearby quarry.
The quarry supplied stone to Denver, other parts of the state, and as far east as Chicago. The ranch, one of the least altered in Weld County, represents a good combination of cultivation and grazing activities.
