Just days after the 101-year-old Workman house was relocated via a truck to South Routt, another historic Steamboat home is being offered for free to anyone willing to pay the costs to move it.
The small, 100-year-old cottage on Ninth Street, between Oak and Pine streets, recently was purchased by new Steamboat Springs residents Thomas and Susan Jones, who plan to remove the house and build a new home on the 0.22-acre downtown lot.
Rather than demolish the historic structure, the couple is working with builders Gerber Berend Design Build and Steamboat Springs’ Historic Preservation Program to find the home a new owner.
The 576-square-foot, one-bedroom, one-bath house was built in 1915, according to the Routt County Assessor website.
