Since the mid-1970s, Old Colorado City had been part of private and public revitalization efforts, including capturing the historical character of its buildings, burying utility wires, and landscaping.
Buildings have been painted  colors used around the turn of the 20th century, modern signs have been replaced or removed, and architectural details have been exposed.

In 1982, the Old Colorado Historic Commercial District was listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
It includes 27 properties situated primarily along Colorado Avenue between 24th and 26th streets and some additional properties on Court Street and the block between 26th and 27th streets.

One-story frame and brick buildings are the earliest known style of construction.
Western Victorian, turn-of-the-century commercial buildings are the second style.
These structures are generally two-story, red brick structures with Queen Anne, Romanesque Revival and Italianate style architecture.
Bancroft Park is located within the district.
It includes a bandshell, pavilion and early pioneer cabin.
