Little Gem in Ouray

Renovation of the Story Block Building was completed in 2011 so everything about this condominium is new except the charm acquired over the last 120 years and the views of West Gold Hill and the changing skies from the 3 large windows in the Great Room. The condominium features large windows and 10 foot ceilings with green living finishes of harwood floors, granite and marble countertops, travertine tile, wool carpeting and energy efficient stainless steel appliances.

John Wayne, Glen Campbell and Kim Darby walked up the stairs to the Production Office for the original Tru Grit.  You can follow in their footsteps or use the elevator installed in 2010. For history buffs, this condo occupies space formerly used for hay storage, a hotel, apartments and a popular variety show.  William Story, a Colorado Lieutenant Governor and Arkansas Supreme Court Justice named the building after himself and subsequent owners have not changed the name of this landmark building in Ouray.  Imagine yourself a miner, immigrant or young couple starting out and relive history with added modern luxury past residents could not imagine.

Step back into mining history in this 1069sq ft condominium decorated with mining photos, maps, books and artifacts. Enjoy all the amenties of a hotel with the luxuries of a home.  A fully equipped kitchen makes cooking enjoyable as you converse and enjoy the view. Sip coffee as you watch the sun move down the mountain in the morning or enjoy the sunset and satellite TV and wireless internet  after a day of play. If you come when the air is crisp, enjoy relaxing by the fire.  A full size washer or dryer and laundry detergent are in the condominium just in case you manage to get dirty while playing in the mountains. Park your vehicle in a private garage located at the bottom of the elevator.

A walk down the hall and down the stairs or elevator puts you in easy walking distance to Ouray's Hot Springs Pool, restaurants, shops, museums. Box Canyon Falls, and Cascade Falls.  Several hiking trails begin within a few blocks or you can head up into the mountains for off road adventures in this Switzerland of America.  A parade and fireworks highlight the Fourth of July while arts festivals, cultural events and mining events provide entertainment through the year.
