Craig-Gould Historic District

By Jessica Carcoana · Updated September 2026

Downtown Castle Rock's Craig-Gould Historic District traces to 1874, when homesteader Jeremiah Gould donated 120 acres to plat the original town on six streets, including Wilcox and Perry, that still carry traffic today. Craftsman bungalows, four-square homes, and small cottages from the following century stand alongside fully renovated properties, most without an HOA. The 62-acre Rock Park, at the base of the Castle Rock butte on Front Street, offers a 1.5-mile single-track loop climbing 370 feet, while two-acre Festival Park anchors downtown with a splash pad and the junction of the East Plum Creek and Sellars Gulch trails. The I-25 interchange sits under a mile from most of the district.
