Western Hotel - Glenwood Springs, CO - U.S. National Register of Historic Places on Waymarking.com

"The Western Hotel provided area residents, visitors, and guests with accommodations as a restaurant, saloon, soda bottling shop, grocery store and rooming house before operating as a working-class hotel. It operated as the Western Hotel beginning around 1925. Although the building dates to ca. 1887 with a restaurant occupying the one-story building, it was only in business for four years, the building was then vacant for at least eight years, reopening periodically, finally reopening as a saloon circa 1907, it continued as a commercial business thereafter.

"The Western Hotel is locally significant under Criterion A in the area of Commerce for its long association with providing area residents, visitors, and guests with accommodations as a restaurant, saloon, soda bottling shop, grocery store and rooming house before operating as a working-class hotel. It operated as the Western Hotel beginning around 1925. Although the building dates to circa 1887 with a restaurant occupying the one-story building, it was only in business for four years, the building was then vacant for at least eight years, reopening periodically, finally reopening as a saloon circa 1907, it continued in as a commercial business thereafter. Therefore the period of significance begins circa 1907, the estimated date it was a saloon, and ends in 1966, in keeping with the National Register guidelines. Although the hotel continued operating until 2012, no significant events occurred after 1966." (From (visit link) )
