Ordway High School (now Crowley County High School)

Built in 1918 as Ordway High School, the magnificent brick Crowley County High School is the second oldest high school in continuous operation in Colorado. The Mediterranean Revival building stands out for its spectacular brickwork and expansive tile roof. The building cost $100,000 to construct in 1918. Many original interior features remain, and grant funding has assisted with the restoration of the windows and front balustrade. The auditorium has recently been renovated to provide the original seating with new upholstery and install matching carpet and stage curtain. Incorporated in 1900 Ordway is the county seat and named for George N. Ordway, an early pioneer.
