Gas Station

Heritage Lakewood looks forward to restoring this mid-century gas station to its former glory days of Colfax Avenue tourism! If you are looking for programs about architecture and historic preservation, check out Conservation Conversations at the Caretaker’s Cottage every first Tuesday of the month.

Gil & Ethel’s Gil and Ethel Gomez bought this Art Moderne building in the 1960s for their barbershop and beauty salon, but during the 1950s it was a laundry and variety store!

Calving Barn

Visitor Center

Streer-Peterson House

The Calving Barn, built around 1910, was one of the structures used for agriculture on the Belmar Estate during May Bonfils Stanton’s ownership in the 1930s through the 1960s. Today, the building serves as homebase for Heritage Lakewood summer camps.

Although the Visitor Center’s style is vintage, it was built in 2003 as a place to start your museum tour.

Housing a Jewish dairy farming family in 1918-1921, this home was originally located down by Fox Hollow Golf Course.
