Fast Cash Pawn
Englewood, CO
The Fast Cash Pawn building was built in 1960. I don't know what the building houses originally but there was a Magnificent Matador restaurant at that address. I don't if this building was used for that or if the restaurant was demolished for this building. [map]

However, as it was being built, it was decided to use it as a library. It opened in 1967. In 1986, a new main library building was constructed next door. It has expanded further since then. [map]
