The McLaughlin Block commercial building in Pueblo, Colorado. The structure was built in 1891 in the Victorian Eclectic style with Romanesque features. It was dedicated to Michael McLaughlin, who died in 1888. It originally contained a hotel, two saloons, two restaurants, a barbershop and a shoe shop. Before 1921, there was a garden level in the front of the building that was never unearthed after the devastating Pueblo flood later that year that filled the area with mud and debris. This three-story building was a vital structure in Pueblo's Union Avenue Historic Commercial District. Photo by Carol Highsmith.
