Rudd Cabin
Inscription
Rudd Cabin. Built in 1860 by Anson and Harriet Rudd, this cabin is one of the few original log cabin homes still standing in Colorado. First local building with a wooden floor, this cabin was the birthplace of Anson Spencer Rudd (first white child born in Canon City to reach maturity.) During much of the Civil War, the Rudd family faced Indian hazards, and alone inhabited Canon City.
At the war's end Anson Rudd became one of the leading citizens of a revived city, being at various times prison warden, postmaster, sheriff and county commissioner. The adjacent stone building was the Rudd home in 1881
