Routt County National Bank Building

Routt County

Constructed in 1919 to house the expansion of the First National Bank, the building reflects the development of the commercial sector of Steamboat Springs and the economic ups and downs of Routt County during the first half of the 20th century.  In 1938, the Routt County National Bank emerged as a survivor of the troubled economic times.

While a variety of enterprises have occupied the first floor commercial spaces, the upper story continues to house the Steamboat Masonic Lodge.  Located on a prominent downtown corner lot, the two-story brick and stone building underwent numerous alterations since its construction.  During 2000-01, the removal of a circa 1980 stucco veneer and faux mansard roof took place as part of a rehabilitation project utilizing both federal tax credits and a State Historical Fund grant.
