The Carriage House sits behind the Avery House and was built in 1904 to replace the wooden barn that had stood there since 1878. The Carriage House has the same style and detail of construction as the Avery House. The sandstone walls, slope of the roof, dormers, and exterior wood elements all mirror the main house.
Fort Collins Municipal Railway Society works with the city of Fort Collins to run the trolley on summer weekend afternoons and holidays. Each 3-mile round trip between City Park and Howes Street along Mountain Ave. takes about 1/2 hour
