Resource Concepts, Inc. is an engineering firm inhabiting one of the most historic homes in the downtown historic Kit Carson Blue Line district. The fence is always clean and in good repair. The lawn is mowed and the bushes neatly trimmed. For history buffs, this site is best known as the former site of the Central School, razed by Dr. Simeon Lemuel Lee who repurposed the lumber from the school to build his mansion.
