Ouray City Hall

Ouray City Hall

Ouray City Hall is located on 6th Avenue in Ouray, Colorado and is on the United States National Register of Historic Places.

History

Constructed in 1900, the structure was built as a miniature replica of Independence Hall in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Thomas Walsh, founder of the Camp Bird Mine, donated a library which occupied the second floor. The structure burned down in January 1950. A restoration effort in 1976 as part of the city of Ouray Centennial failed, but another resteration effort succeeded in restoring the historic facade in 1988.
