Title	Charles A. Finding building
Creator(s)	Schieltz, Melvyn E.
Summary	Built in 1885, the Charles A. Finding building in Breckenridge, Colorado, was once the town's most substantial building, and housed the Finding Hardware Store. Built of local rusticated stone, the storefront has molding in the kickplates and an inset, mitred entry. Above the windows, a panel is topped with an end bracketed cornice. Jigsaw cut letters in the panel read "Summit County Investment Co." Cut wood floret tipped crosses are at each end, and plastic letters below read: "Real Estate / Rental Management / Design." Antique hardware sits in the window, and a hanging sign over the door reads "Representatives for Eagle County Development Corporation." A dog stands on the sidewalk in front, under a small American flag projecting from the entry frame.
