Gunnison History Tracker
125 North Main Street
The two-story brick structure built between 1882 and 1886 has been covered with plaster and a wood shingle façade. The building was
originally a hotel and bakery. Harry Fogge Clothiers replaced the hotel and later, the Endner Hardware oper- ated in the building for 41 years.
We see the "Gunnison House" in these 1881 photos. In 1886 there was a Jewelry store in one half of the building, with the other half vacant.
This was one of five buildings that burned down in the 1902 on the south-west end of the 100 N Main Block.

Endner Hardware was ran by three generations of the Endner Family. William Harry Endner came to the area in 1879, where he established a sawmill and expanded his operations with a hardware store. H.W. Endner and his wife, Lena Lightley Endner, then took over the store, followed by their son, William B. "Bill" Endner, for 41 years.
Bill re-located the store in the 1950's due to parking issues at this location.
