Flowers Store and home saved

Flowers Road above the Cache la Poudre River in 1879. Advertisement Larimer County contracted him to construct a road between Buckhorn Creek, over Cameron Pass and down Michigan Creek on the west side of the Continental Divide. The idea was to serve the new mining industry in North Park. A stipulation in the contract was to build a road feasible by hauling a load of oats using a two-wheel cart. Flowers met the terms of the contract, but only by using a considerable amount of manpower. The road did not prove practical due to the rough terrain. Portions of Flower's pioneer road can be driven today, and the upper portion is a hiking trail. One of Flowers' sons, Ben, took over operation of the store and became the first postmaster of Bellvue. The Flowers family also operated a nearby sawmill. In recent years, money was raised to restore the old store by those that are named as part of the original grange or their descendants. The original floor was shored up, the bathroom made handicap accessible and the exterior mortar re-pointed. In order to apply for designation on the National Register of Historic Places, the windows have to be replaced with ones similar to the originals. One of the two front windows now meets this criterion, and money is being raised for the other window. Volunteers and money could be used to finish the work on this old store. Call Judy Jackson at 970-482-5091. The Flowers Store is located on the southwest corner of County Road 23 and County Road 52E (Rist Canyon Road). Not to be overlooked, on the north side of County Road 52E is the Flowers home, also built of stone. Built in 1880, it too is on the National Register of Historic Places. Kenneth Jessen has been a Loveland resident since 1965. He is an author of 20 books and more than 1,600 articles. He served on several Loveland boards and was an engineer for Hewlett-Packard for 33 years. (Loveland Reporter-Herald)
