Van Atta

Located in the heart of Telluride, CO, the Van Atta Dry Goods & Clothing Store was a cornerstone of commerce during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. W.B. Van Atta, a leading merchant, first co-founded the Van Atta & Kafka Clothing store in 1884, later rebranding under his name. As the sole agent for Standard Fashions, Van Atta provided high-quality apparel and essentials to miners and residents during Telluride’s mining boom. Known for “Quality and Style Since the Beginning,” the building remains a symbol of reliability and elegance, preserving its rich commercial legacy in Telluride.
