The
Mount Evans Crest House is a building, now in
ruins, located at the summit of
Mount Evans in
Colorado. It is notable for both its significant architectural design, and its unusual location. Built at the terminus of the
Mount Evans Scenic Byway, it was the highest business structure in the
United States. Constructed between 1940 and 1941, it served as a restaurant, gift shop, and tourist attraction until it was partially destroyed by a fire in 1979.
