Trinidad, Colorado - A Historic Building Survey
Trinidad Hotel Building
Map location #22.
The old Trinidad Hotel at 421 North Commercial is built of brick with stone facing. The facade is in the Renaissance style with interesting iron grill work containing the upper balconies. As one may note in the second photograph a part of the upper balcony railing is now missing.
The property evidently first belonged to Maria D. C. Baca but it is uncertain who owned the property at the time of construction, which was 1900. In those lands which lie outside the original town site and which are designated as Baca Lands we find the legal records are extremely hazy and confusing and makes accurate research a near impossibility.
The early photograph is dated about 1908 and the later one July, 1970.
Legal Description: Part of Lot 7; 37 feet on Commercial St. in Baca Lands.
