The City Center subarea of downtown contains much of the original townsite of the city, and its buildings compose much of the downtown core. Churches, banks, governmental offices and commercial blocks evidence the benefits associated with the Cripple Creek mining district. Other influences, associated with the railroad industry and the early health industry, are displayed. Finally, some vestiges of early residential neighborhoods provide a glimpse of life at the turn of the century.
