One of the classic and most well-known structures in downtown Colorado Springs is for sale, with an asking price of $4.3 million.
Located at 118 N. Tejon Street, the four-story DeGraff Building was built in 1897 and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
The building’s history dovetails with a good deal of the history of Colorado Springs itself, erected when the frontier city had a population of less than 15,000 by David DeGraff, a wealthy sheep and cattle rancher who also dabbled in California gold mining.
Designed by the architectural firm of Barber and Hastings of Colorado Springs, the structure was originally used for retail purposes on its first floor, with the upper levels given over to office space.
Through the decades the building has also housed a bike shop, art gallery, and apartments.
Designated as a Class B structure, the DeGraff Building has for the last decade been the home to the Oskar Blues Grill & Brew.
The property is being listed by the Miramont Commercial realtors of Colorado Springs.
