Since Listing:
The City of Trinidad acquired the Toltec Hotel and entered into a public/private agreement with two local contractors, repairing the roof and stabilizing the structure with a grant from the State Historical Fund. In late 2004, the City of Trinidad sold the building to Shearman Real Estate LLC, a company noted for preservation projects. A multi-million dollar rehabilitation for the Toltec is now nearly complete, with ten high-end lofts on the upper floors and commercial units at street level.
