The Avery House was built in 1879 by Franklin Avery.

Avery later founded First National Bank and was instrumental in developing water projects that enabled agriculture to flourish in northern Colorado.The Avery House, gazebo, fountain, and carriage house are part of the Avery House Historic District listed in the National Register of Historic Places. The Avery House is open for tours Saturdays and Sundays from 1 to 4 p.m.
