Combining a beautiful historic building with Pueblo’s first-ever food hall is the goal of the Fuel & Iron Project focusing on a $15.3 million remodeling of the Holmes Hardware building, 400 S. Union Ave.
“When they rebuilt it in 1915, they did the identical façade but they did a concrete structure,” Stern said. “It’s built like a tank; the building is incredibly strong, so I think they were over-compensating. I think they wanted to build it back the second time in a way that would last. Of course it has lasted for 106 years and it survived the 1921 flood, so I think they were successful.

A Pueblo bakery that offers the unbeatable combo of pinball and pastries with a side of coffee is keeping nostalgia alive on Union Avenue.
Bite Me Cake Company, 223 S. Union Ave., is not your average bakery. It’s an arcade too.
“We do have pinball as well as arcade games for people to come in and play. Pre-COVID we were running tournaments bi-weekly and those would actually fill up, so people would come to play the tournaments and have some snacks,” said Allysha Baca, part owner.
As coronavirus cases decline in the community, the interest in the games is picking up again.
