Trinidad, Colorado - A Historic Building Survey
Sherman Building
Map location #29.
The Sherman Building, 210 North Commercial, was built in 1885 to house a wholesale and retail grocery business. The two-story brick building provides an example of late Victorian architecture. Cast iron columns in the Chicago style add interest to the structure.
The original owner was Laura M. Pearson who acquired a deed from the city in March, 1879. She sold the property to Frank Bloom in October of the same year. The First National Bank acquired the property next and was the owner at the time of construction.
The year 1905 is the approximate date of the first picture. The second one was taken in July, 1970.
