Shields-Cooper Building

This building was constructed in the early 1880’s by C. P. Shields. Thomas Cooper, a Colorado mining pioneer, soon bought the property for $2,500.00. In the 1880’s, the store was occupied by William Annman as a dry goods shop. At the turn of the century, the building was sold to Magnus Anderson and Sam Marchington, two of the town’s most prominent businessmen. The building then became a notions shop, selling notions, hat trimmings, etc. By 1907 it had become a saloon, and has remained either a tavern or restaurant for the duration of the twentieth century.

Architecturally, the structure is one and one half stories of brick and masonry construction. It covers the width of two city lots, which makes it wider than many similar buildings in the area. The building is typical of 1880’s construction, with simple style and detailing. However, it has been substantially altered in the twentieth century, with additions of shingles, false log facade and gables.
