Description
The Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) renovated the Halfway House, located halfway up the Flagstaff Mountain Road, in 1933. It includes a room, patio, picnic area and restroom.
The Halfway House was originally built in 1919 by the Lion’s Club of Boulder. Exactly what work was done by the CCC is uncertain to us.
Halfway House was built in the “park rustic” style of the early 20th century, with massive stones and heavy timbers. The rock is local golden sandstone.
The building belongs to the City of Boulder and is rented for wedding and other events.
