Located on the western edge of our neighborhood, the Weber Street-Wahsatch Avenue Historic District was listed in the National Register in August 1985. The neighborhood is significant as the best intact middle-class historic neighborhood in Colorado Springs. It contained 531 main buildings and was described as generally late Victorian. Nearly 4 of 5 buildings were built between 1890 and 1910. Largely a neighborhood of homes with some commercial uses, it is only two blocks wide, from alley to alley on either side of the namesake streets, and ten blocks long, from Boulder to Columbia, and on Weber another two blocks north to Del Norte.
