Old Town homes for sale. Six brick blocks and the streets behind them.

Six brick blocks laid out in 1889. Coffee's on by 6.

Old Town is the original townsite: six blocks of brick along Front Street, platted in 1889 when the assay office opened. Houses on the side streets date from the 1890s to the 1930s.

They sit on lots of about a fifth of an acre, with alleys behind and sidewalks in front. You can do most errands without starting the truck. The bakery line forms at 6, the hardware store still cuts keys and our office is at number 112. City water and sewer reach every address. Parking on Front Street is tight in ski season, and old houses come with old plumbing. We'll tell you which ones have been redone.
