3 unusual facts about Loveland Block and Coors Building


Loveland Block and Coors Building

The Loveland Block, named for pioneer William A.H. Loveland, once served as the territorial capitol building of Colorado.

Today the Loveland Block is one of only two remaining buildings where the Colorado Territorial assembly is believed to have met, the other being as Colorado's first capital, Colorado City.

Ever since the Territorial Capital was moved from Colorado City to Golden in 1862, the rival city of Denver made attempts to secure the capital for itself.
