CANON CITY - Key Persons
Built in 1881, the Anson Rudd House served as a retirement home for Anson Rudd and his wife Harriet. It was a major improvement from their cabin next door. The Rudds lived in the wood cabin for over twenty years before building this two-story stone house. The house originally had a daylight basement and a porch across the back of the house.
Anson and Harriet occupied the house until they moved to Boulder to live with their son in 1904. The house was then rented out and served as a boarding house. In 1918, the property was given to the City of Cañon City with the condition that the Rudd cabin be restored. The house became a residence of various City employees until 1974. The following year the house was remodeled to serve as a historic house museum.
The City of Cañon City is working to rehabilitate the house to the historical period it was constructed. We hope to have it open to the public in the future. Both the Rudd Cabin and the Rudd House are listed on the Colorado State Register of Historic Places.
