Buerger Brothers was a beauty supply company, so the beauty of the building itself was clearly important to them. They stayed in this building until 1972.

This building was built at the same time as Montana Fallis’ other surviving Art Deco Denver design, the Mayan Theatre.

Clad with beautiful terra cotta designs, this building is another grand example of Denver Art Deco.

In 1937, Buerger Brothers expanded into the neighboring building, which was given an Art Deco white tile makeover.

The Buerger Brothers Annex was originally the Denver Fire Clay Co. Building. Traces can be seen in the ghost signage on the brick side of the building.
