Exterior view of the Golden Burro Cafe and the Blosfeld building on Harrison Avenue in Leadville, Colorado. The Golden Burro Cafe is in a one-story brick structure with a bracketed cornice, built in 1898 by E.H. Dimick. It has a remodeled facade with new brick, glass block windows, a canvas awning supported by four posts and a two-sided neon "Golden Burro Cafe, cocktails" sign with a burro on top. The two-story Blosfeld building houses Cass Office Supplies and the Rock Hut. It features large pane storefront windows, a bracketed cornice, brick corbeling, stone lintels and sills, and a top decorative name frieze "C.E. Blosfeld." Lettering on the awnings labels "Cass Office Supplies" and "The Rock Hut." A second Rock Hut sign hangs, perpendicular to the building, from a beam. Signs on the entry door include "Open" and "Coors, Attend the Annual Boom Days Festivities." A man in slacks is on the sidewalk, and a two-door Chevrolet is parked at the curb.
