The front of the Holy Cross Garage in flames on March 21, 1963.
Eagle Valley Enterprise, March 21, 1963 p.1: "An historic landmark in Red Cliff was burned to the ground and an adjoining building destroyed in a blaze early this morning and two young men are being quesioned in connection with a reported break in at the garage.
The Holy Cross Garage and adjoining house, owned by Mr. and Mrs. Walter Owen went up in smoke. The residence was just remodeled and Owens had planned to live there. Owens had also just opened the garage as an automotive repair shop. Both buildings were formerly owned by Mickey Walsh of Grand Junction.
Mrs. Owen told Sheriff Jim Seabry that it had been noticed that a door on the garage had been broken into."
