This home was used for 23 years from 1914 to 1937 to house indigent and sick miners. Since that time, the house has been dubbed the Poor Farm by locals in the area.

The home located at 14 Citadel Drive in Ridgway has three bedrooms, three bathrooms, a three-car garage, 3,743 square feet of living space, and sits on a 3.06-acre plot of land. The home was purchased in 2000 and renovations took place over the course of 10 years.
