Once Abandoned And Left To Decay, The Como Depot In Colorado Has Been Restored To Its Former Glory
Colorado’s railroad history is rich and fascinating, which residents and historians must work hard to preserve. While some of the state’s most historical landmarks are no more, there is one that was left to decay but has since been restored to its original glory. You are going to want to see the Como Depot in Colorado for yourself:
Welcome to the once-endangered but now-restored Como Depot.
Located in the small unincorporated community of the same name, the Como Depot was constructed in 1879 and served the Denver, South Park and Pacific Railroad, which ran from the Mile High City to the small town for several decades.
Despite it sitting vacant for 70+ years, owner David Tomkins, in partnership with Denver South Park & Pacific Railway Historical Society, would breathe new life into the Como Depot, restoring it to its original glory!
Thanks to generous donors who gave both time and money, the Como Depot received everything from a new roof to a massive clean-out to fresh paint, leveled floors, and reconstruction wherever needed.
