A NEW LOOK AT HERITAGE LAKEWOOD

Last fall, Heritage Lakewood Belmar Park commissioned local photographer Bill Guerriero to capture our historic buildings with his creative lens. Learn more about this project during a special History Happy Hour on August 23, when we will host Bill for a presentation and site tour. Call 303-987-7850 to register.

Dive into the rich history of our historic structures at Lakewood.org/Heritage.

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

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.

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.

Visitor Center

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

Streer-Peterson House

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