We are not fast. We are good, we are courteous, but we are not fast. . . For fast
go to Chicago. Here we are west of the "Tension Line." So relax, take time to
smell the flowers and give us time to prepare your order with tender loving care.

History of this building The discovery of placer gold in the Idaho Springs area was not the first in Colorado but together with the Gregory Gulch discovery near Central City, transformed the faltering "Pikes Peak or Bust" gold rush into a bonafide stampede. With this rush of people the communities of Idaho Springs, Central City, Golden, Denver and much of Colorado began their development in earnest. The development of Miner Street Commercial District paralleled the success of the mines. The first placer operations fostered a temporary community of tents and primitive wood structures. Initial underground operations gave permanence to the community, but it was not until the problem associated with the smelting of sulfide ores were overcome in 1869 that hardrock mining began in earnest, and population, wealth, and permanence came to Idaho Springs. This building — Plummer Block #2 — was constructed by Henry Plummer in 1884. The first business was a flour, coal, feed and hay store. Today 1518 Miner houses Mainstreet, A Restaurant.
