Originally known as West’s Theater, for its owner Ed West, a Trinidad, Colorado businessman, this theater was designed by local Trinidad architects I.H. & W.M. Rapp (brothers to C.W. and George Rapp) along with a member of the firm, A.C. Hendrickson, construction began on February 17, 1907. On March 16, 2008, it marked 100 years since it opened. Excepting for brief periods for renovation through the years, it has the distinction of being Colorado’s oldest and largest extant theatre that has never closed. – Cinema Treasures

The Newman Block, of course. At 801 Main Ave., it was built in 1892 by Charles Newman, who made his fortune first through pharmacies he owned with his brothers-in-law in Silverton, Alamosa, Animas City and Chama, New Mexico, and later by locating the Swansea Mine in Rico. His drugstore in Durango went on to become S.G. Wall Druggist, the current site of Olde Tymer’s Café. Newman also represented our region in the Colorado Senate. – Durango Herald – Ann Butler, June 17, 2014

History : This is a family affair. The family of Jacqueline Chabre founded this Toulon institution in 1894. Louis Chabre in 1894 bought the Toulonnaise pharmacy, and Victor Castel in 1894 transformed it into pharmacy-drugstore. The House Castel-Chabre was born (although there was nothing left of the party Castel, the name will remain forever attached to that Chabre) Great Castel-Chabre Pharmacy even had its own analysis laboratory, and extended the pharmacy-drugstore activities to perfumery and hygiene. – The Stores of Toulon (Les Magasins de Toulon)
