Historic Western Hotel & Saloon (c. 1892)

Now celebrating 127 years since its grand opening in 1892, the 3 story Historic

Western Hotel and Saloon in downtown Ouray is ready to be taken into the future.

Inside you'll find +/- 15,000 gross square feet under roof - approximately 3,750 square

feet on the street level (saloon, restaurant, lobby) and 3,750 square feet on each of the

2nd and 3rd floors, plus the full footprint basement level.

The Western is a historically intact unique asset for (1) the historic preservationist, (2)

the hotelier/restauranteur or (3) a commercial/residential redeveloper.

This is one of the of largest and oldest wooden hotels left from Colorado's Victorian era,

and a contributing property to the Ouray Historic District on the National Register of

Historic Places. Because of that, there is a 35% state tax credit and 20% federal state

tax credit toward renovation expense that qualifies as justified historic renovation work.

The new owner can potentially get $.55 back on every $1 spent on the restoration!

The tin ceilings in the ballroom, stained glass & check-in desk in the lobby, the hand

carved bar & wood stove in the saloon, the alternating current light fixtures...all original

to Colorado's earliest days. In the early 1900's thirsty Colorado artist Herndon Davis

painted the face of his beloved wife Juanita on the bar room floor for a few free beers.
