This is the street where the prominent class lived in the mining boom town era. The bankers, the mine owners and the professors and doctors built homes on Oak. You'll notice no one cut down the trees on this street for firewood and now they are more prolific and mature than any in town. The Original build was in 1891. Prior to the 1890's Telluride had few significant residences or important structures. Many homes were simple wood structures with no foundations because miners just came and milled with no sense of permanency. On the south side of main street Miners' shanties were more common than the decorative permanent residences located above main street; like Oak St. Two culturally significant mechanisms of change happened in 1890. Together, they ushered in Telluride's boom town era. The implementation of the Rio Grande railway increased access to a hard to reach Colorado mining town. And the invention and operations of a commercial AC power plant via the work of Nikola Tesla, Westinghouse and L.L. Nunn. These two progressions made Telluride more accessible and switched mining operations from coal to electricity. By 1897 San Miguel County was one of Colorado's principal mining and milling centers, ranking 3rd in Gold production and fifth in silver. After the railway arrived Telluride experienced its greatest boom and within ten years the population grew from 766 people to 2,466. By 1987, silver prices fell, labor costs increased and the boom town mining era slipped away. During the Depression the population had dropped back to 505 people and the next boom occurred with the development of the ski resort. The design review of alterations of historic buildings, in national historic zones, as well as new construction, has maintained the character of the historic town. 123 N.
