My Commentary:
This building now houses the Calico Rock Art "Museum" & Science Museum. It has few displays regarding the geology and archeology of the area, however, it is more of a gallery where local artists are able to display and sell their art - paintings, sculpture, textiles, etc. It is open Tuesday-Saturday 10am-4pm with no admission fee.
There is a marker on the right side of the facade. It reads:
