A mirror of the Gospels, the story of this historic building began with a simple manager. 1706 Empire Street was originally constructed in 1933 as a small dairy operation. Hay grass and supplies were railroaded up from Durango, and intern dairy products were distributed across San Juan County. In the early 90’s an intensive remodel project was undertaken to facilitate a profound change of use. The walls were trued, the floors leveled, the roof re-set, and a pulpit replaced the cattle. In its current configuration, this 2,783 SF structure offers an opportunity to continue feeding, albeit spiritually, the faithful of Silverton. Alternatively, the open floor plan (sanctuary, foyer, men’s/women’s restrooms, and a fellowship hall/kitchen) alongside generous R2 zoning allow for another possibilities- ranging from single family residence to a fourplex or even a daycare. All the amenities of the upper San Juan’s are readily available, with Silverton Memorial Park, Alpine Tavern, The Avon hotel, and Kendall Mountain’s ski slope within walking distance. The Silverton Mountain Ski Area is a mere 5.8 Miles away, Purgatory Ski Resort is 22 miles, and the entire Alpine Loop is a single right-hand turn from the front door. Whether it be a historic dairy, house of worship, or future residence, this log canvas is brimming with potential.
