The bank was known for its 1,800 pound safe, which had taken thirty-five days for twelve oxen to pull from Omaha, Nebraska to Denver, Colorado.

A historic medallion on the structure reads: “The Colorado National Bank Building epitomizes the concept of Wall Street of the West.

The white marble bank with Corinthian columns, a lofty arcade and a vault with three-and-a-half inches thick doors conveyed a feeling of majesty and security.

In 2009, it was purchased by developer and hospitality firm Stonebridge Companies, which began renovations in 2011 to turn it into a 230-room hotel.

The renovation project included a restoration of 16 murals on the ground for by one of Colorado’s premier native born artists, Allen Tupper True.
