This railroad stop, originally named in 1885 for DSP&P agent David N. Cassells, became a Catholic summer camp called Santa Maria. On the hill behind the camp the statue of Christ, made by Denver's Northwestern Terra Cotta Company, stands 33 feet high on a 22-foot-high pedestal, second in size only to the Cristo in Rio de Janeiro. It is a colossal copy of a statue by New York sculptor Harriet Frismuth for the John K. Mullen family plot in Mount Olivet Cemetery near Golden.
