According to ColoradoHistory, "The two-story brick building was constructed in 1917 during the period of local economic optimism that followed the coming of the railroad in 1913. It remains Craig’s most important example of early 20th century commercial architecture."[2]

Carl Howelson, a famous Norwegian skijumper and mason, is believed to have laid the brickwork. A man named Charles R. Taylor is associated as either the architect or contractor.[3]
