The Avery House, at 328 W. Mountain Ave. in Fort Collins, Colorado, was built in 1879. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1972.[1]
The house and its stable house are two contributing buildings on the property. The two-story house is asserted by the to be "one of the city's best remaining examples of the colorful construction done during its early days and of High Victorian Gothic architecture."[2]
It was hoped that National Register listing would improve likelihood the house would be preserved, in face of high real estate prices and development pressure in Fort Collins.[2]
In 1974, the Poudre Landmarks Foundation bought the house for $79,000. It was open for house tours until closed during Covid.[3]
