More Than Century-Old Boulder Campus Area Structure for Sale

A two-story brick building that has long been the home to businesses catering to students from the nearby University of Colorado is being listed for sale in a Boulder neighborhood.

Built in 1912 and originally serving as a residence, the property measures nearly 16,400 square feet, with brick interior brick walls, wooden floors, and the original pressed tin ceiling.

According to a survey of the building compiled by the Colorado Historical Society, the building is also distinguished for its “hipped roof, featuring bands of two and three double-hung windows, and paneled wood with engaged columns and arches in paneling.”

The upper floor of the structure remains residential, with a current total of 17 apartments.

The property, which has not been on the market in more than 40 years, was last renovated in 1970.

Listed with the realtor Market Boulder, which specializes in the sale and leasing of commercial property, the property is less than one mile to the southwest of the UC campus.
