Re: Como Workday June 1 2019 Part 3

After the C&N-W was abandoned in 1920, this car and its sisters were bought by a local Boulder man and made into little cabins on a hillside on the west end of town. The survivor (politely referred to as the "decrepit cottage", more commonly called names I can not post here..) was cut in half in 1920 before being moved to its cliffside perch. After several additions, the car became part of a decent sized house and remained so until 2013 when the front range of Colorado saw unprecedented rain and flooding. The house was damaged by water running down the hillside and condemmed. Boulder County eventually bought out the property owners and demolished the house. The county and the demolition contractor were kind enough to let us have the carbody.
