History of the Plaza Building
The Plaza Block Building in La Junta, Colorado, has a rich history dating back to its construction in 1895.
Originally built in the heart of La Junta's first business district, Trinidad Plaza, it emerged during a period of significant growth driven by a stable railroad economy. The building initially served as a department store and later transitioned to house offices for Western Union and the Postal Telegraph and Cable Company, among other businesses, until it became vacant in the late 1970s.
Restoration Efforts
In recent years, the Plaza Block Building has undergone extensive restoration to preserve its historical significance. The first phase involved shoring up the walls and replacing the roof to prevent further deterioration. During this process, many decorative elements were discovered and preserved.
Current Use
Today, the building is being revitalized as a public art gallery and community gathering space, reflecting a commitment to long-term preservation and community engagement. It stands as one of the last physical links to
La Junta's historic downtown, symbolizing both the town's past and its future.

Meet The Author
William Luce was an American writer known for shaping historical biography into intimate stage and television dramas, often through the form of the one-person play. His work was closely associated with literary and theatrical figures, and he gained recognition for writing vehicles that gave performers substantial expressive range. Across decades, he pursued clarity of character and emotional immediacy rather than spectacle, treating biography as a lived inner world. He was also celebrated for connecting theatrical writing with screen and radio production, extending the reach of his storytelling.
