COLORADO SPRINGS, CO-The Colorado Springs Convention and Visitors Bureau has moved into a new office that it hopes will result in higher visibility and more visitors. The group moved into a historic building at 515 S. Cascade Ave. in this city about 60 miles south of Denver, and the second largest city in the state.

The building at 515 S. Cascade Ave. was developed by Winfield Scott Stratton in 1901 to use as trolley barns and shops. It was equipped for maintaining street railway equipment throughout the West.
