"The 1901 William A. Hover & Company Building is associated with the development of the wholesale drug industry from 1901 to 1949. The Hover Co. grew into one of the largest regional drug supply companies, serving Colorado and the surrounding states. The building is a good example of early 20th Century Commercial Style architecture and is one of only two intact examples of a commercial building designed by master architect, Robert S. Roeschlaub."
