Business Ethic & Philosophy
My practice is built on a foundation of complete respect for all my clients, as individuals. I provide massage to people who come from a variety
of lifestyles and backgrounds in a nurturing and nonjudgmental environment. It is my intention to provide my clients with the best work that I can

Coors Building
The Coors building at 2489 West Main Street was erected about 1905 by Adolph Coors of the Colorado family of brewmasters. The cornice carries a bronze
plate with the name "Coors."
This two-story brick structure has been in continuous use except for a couple of years in the early 1980s.
It is believed that there were originally five stores on the ground floor including a plumbing and hardware business and The Arapahoe Bar, a saloon that
sold Coors beer. Upstairs were the offices of the "Littleton Club." By 1928 it housed J. B. Byars Company dry goods in the corner unit and Melvin Pagett's
confectionery next door east. The second floor was occupied by attorney W. S. McGintie, dentist R. C. McKelvy, and real estate and insurance man Horatio S.
Ramsey.
The 20th century commercial-style building is representative of the turn of the century boom in Littleton. While typically not overly ornamented, this style
of architecture still has a character and charm that spoke to the growing prosperity of communities throughout the United States.
The Coors Building is buff brick, with a brick cornice that has projecting dentil molding. The building has a secondary cornice, which adds interest to the
otherwise plain facade. The corner entrance with Corinthian cast iron column is one of the more significant architectural features. The second story windows
are framed by brick molding. Brick pilasters rise between the windows from a stone sill course under the second story windows and extend to the cornice cap.
At the cornice, above the entryway, remains the original Coors Building sign. Cast iron pilasters and plate glass windows with paneled kick plates and
decorative awnings segment the storefront. The second floor has a dramatic steel frame skylight.
For many years the first floor of the Coors building held Abe's Cafe and its well-known round table where Main Street merchants gathered for coffee and to
discuss the state of downtown Littleton. In 1993 Sue Carbaugh purchased the building and explained to the Littleton Historical Museum Board her renovation
plans. The city gave historic landmark designation the same year.
With help from the Colorado State Historical Fund, Carbaugh removed a stucco facade to restore the original storefront, installed wood windows where they had
been bricked up, and restored all the transoms. The interior was cleaned, repaired, and the original wood floor exposed. A drop ceiling was removed so that
the skylight could be used again. Carbaugh opened the lower floor retail space as the attractive indoor decor and gift shop "Seasons."
She soon expanded the shop into the one-story building next door east. With retail space and with the upper floor again occupied by offices, the venerable
Coors Building has resumed its briefly interrupted commercial use.
