This 1879 home belonged to Franklin Avery, the city surveyor of Fort Collins. Avery’s foresight is evident in the tree-lined, wide boulevards that grace the city centre. The Avery House is a stop along the self-guided historic walking tour available from the Fort Collins Convention & Visitors Bureau, with free guided tours that take you through the historic building.
It's truly one of the best introductions to local history you can find.
