Completed in 1927, the Cañon City Municipal Building is a two-story brick structure designed by architect Eugene Groves in the Moderne style, featuring a distinctive H-shaped plan. Originally constructed as the city's government seat in Cañon City, Colorado, the building was vacated when a new City Hall was erected to provide expanded office and council chamber space. It now houses the Royal Gorge Regional Museum and History Center, which relocated from the basement of the Cañon City Public Library. The building includes a bomb shelter in its basement and stands near the Rudd family homestead and other historic structures. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.
