The Routt County Bank Building was completed on March 9, 1911 from stone quarried in Routt County. Although the Routt County Bank with an apartment in back occupied the visible space on the corner of Sharp and Colfax. It was soon joined by Walker Mercantile and the Tavern hotel. The hotel was on the second story of the building and had 24 rooms to rent. Some of the stores that bank building were a J.C. Penney, a post office, a drug store, theaters, pool halls, a shoe shop, a library, a bowling alley, hardware and grocery stores, movie theater, and restaurants. Mrs. Harvey ran the hotel for many years. In the early 1960s the building was occupied only by the Routt County Savings and Loan. Later Margaret Rains purchased the building and renamed it the Circle R. It now contains Pisa's Pizza Place & Pasta restaurant, a beauty shop and apartments on the 2nd story.

The basic floor plan is a giant rectangle with a flat commercial roof. It is 65' x 100' and now has a wooden walk way on the bottom and a wooden balcony to reach the top floor apartments.
