The second Lowell Elementary School, now known as R-5 High School, was completed in 1925, from designs by Denver architect Eugene Groves. For a year after the school was built, the jail remained next door. Watching the children play games on the school grounds no doubt helped time pass for those housed in the jail. The exterior and interior remain mostly unchanged.

Dr. Shores had this house built in 1893. Shores was one of the most celebrated peace officers in frontier Colorado. After Alferd Packer was captured he was taken to Shores jail in Gunnison for safe keeping. This house had the first steam heating system in the area. The exterior and interior remain much the same.

This house was built in 1893 for W.F. and Fannie White. They owned White Mercantile that was located at the NE corner of Fifth and Main streets. The exterior of this house remains the same. Changes were made on the interior when it was converted into an apartment building during WWII and housed several “War Brides”
