The Louviers Village Club, in Louviers, Colorado, was built in 1917 and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1995.It was built by E.I. du Pont de Nemours and Company to serve as a community building in the company town of Louviers. It is a U-shaped building, built in Craftsman style. It was deemed significant for NRHP listing "for its association with the explosive industry's contribution to the development of the West, social history as illustrated by the company town movement, and for the information it provides regarding entertainment and recreation in the early Twentieth Century. During the Nineteenth and early Twentieth Centuries, E. I. du Pont de Nemours and Company pioneered the development and manufacture of explosives in the United States. Business was brisk for the Du Pont Powder Company by the early Twentieth Century, when dynamite products were in great demand for use in mining and in railroad, tunnel and road construction. Du Pont, the nation's leading supplier of explosives at the time, was unable to fill all of the orders for its products. In order to expand its production capabilities, Du Pont sought new sites for the establishment of explosives plants. The company was particularly desirous of locating a plant in the Rocky Mountain region due to the fact that there were then no sources for explosives closer than the West Coast or the Mississippi River. In 1906, Du Pont procured a site on Plum Creek adjacent to the Denver and Rio Grande Railroad line. First called "Toluca" after a station on the line, the name was quickly changed to "Louviers" after the ancestral home in France of the DuvPont family. Dynamite production at Louviers began in 1908, with over a half million pounds produced the first year. By 1951, "Louviers Works", as the plant was called, produced over two million pounds of dynamite per month and employed 230 workers. In 1971, after the production of an estimated one billion pounds of dynamite, the company shifted emphasis to production of PETN and a new emulsion explosive product. Operations at the plant ceased in the early 1980s. The plant facilities were extensively modified over time in keeping with technological advances, and are still maintained by Du Pont on a care taking basis. Du Pont retains ownership of the majority of land immediately surrounding the town of Louviers."

Chatfield Dam and Reservoir is a dam and artificial lake located on the South Platte River, south of Littleton, Colorado. The dam and reservoir were built by the United States Army Corps of Engineers as a response to the disastrous flood of 1965. In addition to its primary purpose of flood control, it serves as one of many water supply reservoirs for the city of Denver, Colorado. In 1966, the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission projected a total federal cost of $74 million. Construction of the project was begun in 1967 and the dam was completed in 1975. The massive breastworks of the dam measure approximately 13,136 feet (4,004 m) in length with a maximum height of the dam of 135 feet (41 m) above the streambed. The normal depth of the lake is 59 feet (18 m) at its deepest point. This means the dam towers 88 feet (27 m) above the mean surface of the reservoir. The lake drains an area of more than 3,000 square miles (8,000 km2). The 1,500 acre (6 km2) lake has a conservation storage capacity of 27,000 acre⋅ft (0.033 km3) with a flood-control pool of over 350,000 acre⋅ft (0.43 km3)
