I will confess that I cannot find out an awful lot about it and the information I do have comes from the Denver Post blog.
It was designed by local architect Frank E. Erdbrooke who also designed other prominent buildings in Denver which are still standing. It was constructed between 1894 and 1896. I am not sure for what purpose it was initially used but from 1908 until 1971 it housed the Colorado State Bank. On the ground floor it was home to the Earnest Drugstore until 1970. I am not sure what companies had the building until its closure and demolition in 1977, not do I know why it was demolished.
I can tell you that the card below was published by the Souvenir Publishing and Mercantile Company and was sent in November 1907 to a Mrs Parker of Oxford, Alabama.
