Historical Background -
This building, erected in 1918 by J.K. Thompson, has always been divided into three storefronts addressed 819, 821, and 823 10th Street. During 1922 through 1926 a printer and dry cleaners were listed at this address. During the period 1928 through at least 1970 Weiss Jewelry occupied the 819 storefront. Fred Weiss opened Weiss Jewelers in Greeley in 1915. By 1970 his son, Howard, owned the business. Jonesy’s Café, a clothing store, and a variety store occupied the middle space (821) during those years. Kimbrel Music Co., a flower shop, and a variety store were housed in 823 during that period.
