Located on West Mountain Avenue, the Avery House is a historic building constructed in 1879 by Franklin and Sara Avery. Mr. Avery was responsible for founding the First National Bank in Fort Collins, for making the wide streets of the city, and for helping stimulate agriculture in the area by creating various water projects.

The Averys made several additions to the two-story sandstone house over the ensuing years including the noteworthy Queen Anne Tower, which was the final addition. Today, the house, the fountain, the carriage house, and the Margaret Merrill Memorial Gazebo are listed on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places.
