History

Constructed in 1900, the city hall was built as a miniature replica of Independence Hall in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.[3] Thomas Walsh, founder of the Camp Bird Mine, donated a library which occupied the second floor. The structure burned down in January 1950. It was listed on the Register in 1975.[1] A restoration effort in 1976 as part of the city of Ouray Centennial failed, but another restoration effort succeeded in restoring the historic facade in 1988.

gollark: For example, even if you just throw all the mods in like I am so far, Botania is complex and rather different to regular tech mods, but you can still have a tiny endoflame set up or something to get the basics.
gollark: Well, yes, you can to some extent, for base investment in mods.
gollark: Also perhaps stargates and other long-range teleporters if I fiddle with the recipes.
gollark: For example, in my very WIP pack, Botania items (especially advanced elven/gaia ones), NuclearCraft fusion reactor/dense energy storage/radiation remover systems, compact machine factories, that sort of thing, require lots of investment in one mod or something like that, so people will probably try and make and sell those.
gollark: Really? As far as I've seen people just set up their own basement farms.
