Notes
  • Significance: The presence of the Evans-Whittenberger Fire Wall serves as a reminder of the constant fear of fire under which the Rocky Mountain mining camps lived. The buildings were mostly of dry pine or juniper cut from abundant surrounding forests. In St. Elmo history, Whittenberger's stone wall is credited with saving the western part of town. Little of the 1880's boom south Chalk Creek would remain otherwise.
