Trinidad, Colorado - A Historic Building Survey
Chronicle-News Building
Map location #10.
The Chronicle-News emerged in 1887 when the Chronicle owned by Dan Stone and The News owned by E. O. Blair merged. In 1900 the Hamerslough Company built the Chronicle-News building to house the offices of the publication. In 1911 a second story was added to the building. Putting out a daily paper each day except Sunday, the newspaper for years also published a weekly edition which came out every Thursday.
The first photograph shows the building shortly after the second story was added. The date of the second photograph is July, 1970.
Marcus Biernbaum was the original owner of the lot, his name being recorded on July 21, 1877.
