Located at the intersection of N. Front Street and Poplar Street in the town of Sterling, Colorado, a structure built in 1913 is up for sale.
The two-story brick corner building measures just over 13,500 square feet and has for years served as a tavern, with its first floor featuring not only a custom-built bar, but also a stage and dance floor.
In the last decade, the structure has been the home to the Loose Caboose bar and restaurant, preceding the Frosted Mug tavern, which closed in late 2020.
The second floor of the building is given over to residential with half a dozen apartments ranging in size from one to two-bedrooms.
Listed for sale with an asking price of just under $840,000 with the Windsor-based Hayden Outdoors realtors, the structure sits on a less than half-acre site and is listed as a Class C building.
Like almost everywhere else in Colorado, the city of Sterling has seen its population increase in in recent years, jumping from around 11,400 two decades ago to just under 15,000 today.
Sale prices for commercial structures in Sterling are generally up to a fourth less expensive than most of the rest of the Centennial State.
