Our building originally housed the Van Atta Dry Goods and Clothing store, a cornerstone of the community in the late 19th century. The shop was known for offering high-quality clothing and goods, serving the needs of Telluride’s growing population during its early mining boom. As one of the town’s trusted outfitters, it played a vital role in providing residents and miners with essential apparel and supplies. Though the building’s use has evolved over time, its origins as a hub for quality merchandise and its connection to Telluride’s early commercial history remain an integral part of its legacy.
