The Yampa Creamery was built in 1905, and until the 1930’s it served as a creamery with the small house in back as the office. Teams of horses were used to bring in machinery that was used for churning milk. On June 23, 1906, the creamery started up. The first churning was done on Thursday and shiped out on monday. A wagon went out to collect the milk on July 24 1907, they took 100 pounds of butter to Kremmling so it could be shipped to Denver Colorado. From 1906 until 1930 0the building at the west end of Rose Lawn Avenue served as the Yampa Creamery with the small building at the back as the office building. The building now days have been remodeled into a home. The milk was received on Monday and the churning was done on Thursday.


The old Yampa creamery was a one-story L-shaped building with a cross gabled roof. In the gable of the façade, there was originally a vent there is a slider sash window. A slanted roof supported by three pillars provided a porch for the building, and it was flanked on either side by sash windows. Originally there were two entrances, one on the north, and one on the L of the façade. Now on the ground floor; there is a fixed frame window on both sides of the front door. The creamery was built with lap siding walls. There is a small building in back that was known as the office. Sometime in the late 1930s, the creamery went out of business, and the building was remodeled as a regular family home with an enclosed porch on the north and west sides.
