Coronado Building

-A A +A
1905, Bessie Smith. 900–920 9th Ave. (southeast corner of 9th St. Mall)

This sleek, two-story brick building has ornate corbeling and diapered panels, with sandstone trim that becomes bands of sills and lintels for the upper story added about 1909. Scars show where a protruding cornice once adorned this handsome structure. Bessie Smith, Greeley's pioneer woman architect, was the daughter of a local contractor who trained with the Denver architecture firm of Baerresen Brothers.
