Historic Pueblo

STUDZINSKI BLOCK

Built 1882. As City Councilman from 1917-1921, Michael Studzinski gained recognition throughout the West for his decisive action to reorganize the demoralized city government after the devastating 1921 Arkansas River flood. The Studzinski Block is one of Pueblo’s

oldest three-story structures and a poignant reminder of Pueblo’s first commercial and financial district. The building is Italianate style, with large first floor display windows and transoms above. The storefront entrance doors are asymmetrically collocated adjacent to the center second floor entrance, an unusual feature to this style of building.  Designated 4-14-2003
