Telluride Transfer Warehouse
201 South Fir Street
The Transfer Warehouse has been a vital place of exchange for over a century. Once the central axis for the transfer of goods and supplies, it is now a public center for the transfer of arts and ideas. Small yet mighty, like Telluride, the flexible space will liberate, incubate, and amplify artists’ voices.
In the early 1900's, during the height of the mining boom, the only way in and out of town was by narrow-gauge railroad. The tracks ran alongside this very same corridor known then as the Warehouse District: a bustling hub of people and goods flowing in and out of the city. When the boom ended, Telluride became all but a ghost town, and many of the structures were left for ruin. However two of the buildings located on property, the Stronghouse (now Telluride’s newest craft brewery) and in particular the Transfer Warehouse still stand today as historic landmarks and reminders of their time.
