Notes: This building served as the Denver terminus of David Moffat’s railroad over Rollins Pass. The Denver, Northwestern and Pacific Railroad (later called the Denver and Salt Lake Railroad) never reached any farther west than Craig, but in doing so it helped to establish an eastern market for the ranches, coal mines and oil fields of northwestern Colorado. A fire in 1995 destroyed the baggage and freight portion of the building. The building is now attached to and part of the Balfour at Riverfront Park senior living facility.
