Hi, Frank,

Here are a couple of shots from Pueblo Colo. The first is one I took in 2003 of a gorgeous sign I thought might be destroyed, judging by the construction tape, dumpster, etc. The second photo is from 2005, showing the repaint. I’m not sure it’s an improvement, as the faded version was in quite good condition, but at least they recognized that it’s worth keeping. – Vance Bass

Erected in 1882 and owned by Eugene Diekman, this building housed Pueblo Auto Parts in 1889 then the Bernstein Bros. Auto Parts and Tires in the early 1900s. – Waymarking dot com
