The McCord-Brady Company building, located at 1506 Thomes Ave. in Cheyenne, Wyoming, was built in 1914-15. It is a flat-roofed two-story dark red brick warehouse with a main building plan of 88 by 120 feet. The structure was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2003.
The building has served as a wholesale grocery warehouse from its construction until 1974. During this time, it was known as the Asher-Wyoming Company Wholesale Grocers and the Cheyenne Winlectric Company. It was provided with its own railroad siding on the south side, which has since been removed, and the Colorado and Southern Railroad previously laid tracks along the north side of the building.
While the tracks along the north side and the south siding have been removed, the Union Pacific Railroad freight yards remain located directly south of West Fifteenth Street. The building remains a well-preserved example of early twentieth-century factory/warehouse architecture.
The property includes a one-story wood-frame shed-roofed addition from 1966 measuring 49 by 13 feet and a one-story wood-frame gable-roofed addition from 1989 measuring 41 by 15 feet. These structures stand as part of a site that represents the commercial activity of a railroad town created in 1867.
