Telluride: Folk Victorian Homes
While in Telluride, the geographical, historical, cultural and technological influences on the evolution of shelter structures becomes clear. This quaint village, encircled by a rugged canyon formed by the San Juan mountains, lured many in the early 1800s with its promises of gold. The San Juan mountain range is spectacular—no other range in the continental United States offers as many peaks over 10,000 ft. as this one. Today, this quiescent town of 2000 people gives no hint of its rough-and-tumble industrial history, common to most western mining towns. 
While fire, ice, wind and water were the ultimate architects of this canyon, American creativity played a major part in shaping this frontier communities' architectural character. Telluride's beauty is a well-kept secret. And the ones who know it, are understably reluctant to share.
