This is the Silverton Office of S.M.P.A.
This quaint little miner's cottage, located on the main street of Silverton, Colorado, contains the offices of San Miguel Power Association. Nearby is a substation and warehouse for work orders to be completed. While it may not at first appearance, seem relevant to the "Portraits In Power" entries we've previously posted, it never-the-less requires inclusion for S.M.P.A.'s involvement in southwestern Colorado rural electric development history. This little cottage cost over $400,000 to purchase! Talk about skyrocketing land values!
