Located at 842 Main Ave., the Fulton Market opened in June 1894 by Ernest Wetter. Specializing as an all-inclusive meat market, the business made its own sausage, bologna, wienerwurst, liverwurst and head cheese. It also sold fish and wild game in-season. Note the animal carcasses hanging over the doorway. It operated as a meat and produce market into the early 1920s. In later years, the Fulton building housed A&H Bootery, and it is now home to the Berkshire-Hathaway Real Estate office. Like many historic buildings in Durango, the storefront has been modernized and no longer resembles its appearance in 1900. – Ed Horvat for Animas Museum, edhorvat@animasmuseum.org (Catalog Number: 04.29.36 from the La Plata County Historical Society Photo Collections)
