This BV Heritage photo was taken from Midland Hill and shows the Denver South Park depot when it was east of the courthouse building.
This is the depot that now sits in the park at the corner of Main and U.S. Hwy. 24.Â
The South Park came into Buena Vista in 1880 on Belden Street and the depot was built where the Avery-Parsons Elementary School now is located.Â
Looking at this photo you can see the jail behind the courthouse, which is now the school administration building.Â
The depot was moved to Woodland Brook Cabins down Main Street in the 1930s.Â
âWe continue to see a stable case count,â Yates said.
According to numbers Yates released Monday morning, there is one case in Avery-Parsons Elementary School and in the district staff, and three cases at Buena Vista High School.
In the coming weeks, Yates will cease including the case count for each individual school in her weekly report, shifting to general case counts throughout the district.
District staff who wished to be vaccinated against the virus were able to do so on Friday, she said.
Yates is continuing to host weekly meetings on Zoom every Monday beginning at 5 p.m. to keep families up to date on how the district is managing COVID019.
