137-141 E. 4th St. – Herzinger & Harter Building

Completed in 1878, the Herziner & Harter Building was Loveland’s first brick commercial structure. It was owned by John Lewis Herzinger and Samuel B. Harter. Arriving in Loveland in 1877, the two businessmen purchased a corner lot in the middle of the newly platted town and began constructing this two-story building. The Herzinger and Harter Mercantile Store operated on the first floor, while the second floor was used as a grange hall. It housed numerous other grocers and retail businesses.
