Trinidad, Colorado - A Historic Building Survey
McCormick Building
Map location #32.
The location which the McCormick Building occupies was owned briefly by David W. McCormick in 1878. From 1883 to 1901 it was owned by the enterprising Trinidad Businessman John O. Packer who then sold it back to David McCormick. It was evidently during the time that Packer owned the property that the basic building which still stands was constructed. Evidence indicates it was probably built in 1889. However, the oriels were added after David McCormick reacquired the building and presumably the property came to be called the McCormick Building at that time.
The early photograph was taken in 1909 and the later one in July 1970.
