Trinidad, Colorado - A Historic Building Survey
Vossbeck Building
Map location #54.
Located at Main and High, the building went up in 1898, when Hans Vossbeck owned the lot. The original lot owner was Isabella Beard. Dr. Michael Beshoar acquired the lot from her in 1881 and sold it to Vossbeck in 1897.
The decorative brickwork on this building, combined with the very attractive leaded windows in the upper section of the arches, make for a rather light, almost lacy effect. The impact made by the building is indeed pleasant. Much of the interior of this building also remains intact or nearly so.
The first photograph on the facing page is dated July, 1970, while the second one was taken in August of 1970.
