1905, George Bauer. Southwest corner of Main St. (U.S. 160) and Grand Ave.

Basement and first-floor sandstone support a brick upper story on this Italianate commercial building with basement frontage in the rear along the Mancos River. Although a corrugated metal front hides the original storefronts, the edifice is still noteworthy for its bracketed metal cornice with serpentine and fleur-de-lis designs in the frieze and its third-story roundel windows.
