Established in 1891 when Telluride was only four years old, the New Sheridan Hotel has been welcoming guests for well over one hundred years. Like the town itself, the hotel was built with riches from gold and silver strikes in the surrounding San Juan Mountains. The original Sheridan Hotel was a three-story wooden frame structure, erected at 233 West Colorado Avenue directly east of the Courthouse. Three years later, in 1894, the original building was destroyed by fire. The present brick building at 231 West Colorado Avenue was erected next door to the burnt lot.
