311 Terry St

Ahlberg House - 1871-1872

The stately house at 311 Terry Street is among Longmont's oldest and most historically significant homes. It was built in 1871-1872, as the Chicago-Colorado Colony was still being founded, and it was completed prior to the
platting of Longmont's original townsite which occurred in 1872. 

It first served as the home of W. J. Atwood, an early leader of Longmont, in 1874. Later, in 1897, Willis and Della Warner, James Warner’s son and daughter-in-law, moved into the house. The building is notable for its combination of Victorian architectural styles: the house is mostly built in the Queen Anne style, but includes the pointed-arch windows of the Gothic style and the tall, slender windows of the Italianate style.

It is also known as the Atwood-Buckingham-Warner House, after the prominent families that have lived in it over the years.
