I bought a huge commercial property earlier this year. I paid 2.1 million dollars for the property which has a grocery store, restaurant, coffee shop, and some vacant space. I plan to also open my new real estate brokerage in one of the vacant units. The property was built in 1964 and I wanted to know the history on it.

Why was it hard to find any history on this building?
There is a lot of history available on buildings in my town: Greeley Colorado. Howecer, most of the info is on the old buildings downtown. My building is on the West side of town and not quite old enough to be interesting.
A few people have told me the grocery store used to be a Gibson's Discount Store. I tried and tried to find something on Gibson's in Greeley Colorado. It was impossible to find anything until I added the "Discount". I found the grand opening article, and article on them expanding the store, and I posted on a local Facebook group. Someone had a picture!!!
