Sherman Avenue Aspen Victorians Elk Range Ceramic Art Tile

Aspen's West End sits north of Main Street, a grid of nineteenth-century houses left over from the silver boom. About 261 Victorian-era buildings still stand across town, most of them on these few blocks. The streets run quiet under cottonwoods. Behind the rooflines the Elk Range carries on into the high country: Pyramid Peak, the Maroon Bells, Castle Peak, all of them past fourteen thousand feet. The boom barons built their houses to look at those mountains. The mountains, in their slow way, still hold up their end.
