This rocking chair, which is now found in the main downstairs living room of the Crawford House, was a favorite of James Crawford. Bill Irvine, who spent three years refurbishing the home, says he has found many photos of James sitting in the chair.

The rustic entryway of the Crawford home is like stepping into the past. Many of the mantles and fireplace fixtures were purchased from the Sears catalog. However, some of the rockwork around the mantles uses native stone and even onyx mined from quarries around Howelsen Hill.

James Crawford moved along with his family into the unsettled Yampa Valley in 1875. The family lived in two log cabins and a framed house in what is now called Old Town Steamboat Springs before moving into the native sandstone home. The outside of the home, and the materials James Crawford used to create it, reflect the Steamboat Springs area and the time period in which he built the home.

It seems only fitting that the home of James and Maggie Crawford stands on a hill in downtown Steamboat Springs overlooking Howelsen Hill. Many of the stones, including those that form the foundation and those that provide the large, arched entryway, were cut from quarries on Emerald Mountain.
