The Two Buttes Gymnasium is an ashlar sandstone-walled 60-by-130-foot (18 m × 40 m) single-story gym building located at 5th and C Sts. in Two Buttes, Colorado. It was built during 1935–37 as a Works Progress Administration (WPA) project in style that has been termed WPA Rustic architecture.[1][2]

The building has served as a sports facility and as a meeting hall. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2009.[1]

Its construction employed 36 persons, and used stone from eight separate local quarries.[2] [3]
