About this property

Come see this iconic reconstruction of the historic Firehouse from the original True Grit movie fame. Located In the core of Ridgway, CO, the gateway to the San Juans' we offer a state-of-the-art kitchen supporting a high-end restaurant plus a thoughtfully designed event center. Known for spectacular scenery and a vibrant art and music scene, Ridgway is only 10 miles from Ouray "The Switzerland of America" and 38 miles to Telluride with world-class skiing, shopping and culture. This total reconstruction incorporates a complete foundation replacement of the original structure plus contiguous new construction. The Event Space features numerous doors onto an outdoor patio which fronts on the very active Ridgway town park. A large, heated patio along the North aspect expands restaurant seating and provides additional event space. Upstairs are 4 employee housing units, each w balcony, washer/dryer, Heat pump (AC & Heat) with individually metered gas and electric. The Old Firehouse was constructed by FCI Contractors, Inc. and famous Kitchen Designer Jeffrey Katz designed the two kitchens. The restaurant comes complete with a finishing kitchen adjacent to the spacious and elegant bar. Every detail was contemplated by Bray and Co. Architects including one of the finest and most functional kitchens on the Western Slope, with capacity to serve a full restaurant and a wedding or event concurrently. The space will graciously seat over 225 people, or more with a "banquet approach".
