Photo Description

Built in 1896, the Soto Bros. and Renaud Store was in competition with a mercantile run by John G. Smith. Renaud became sole owner of the store in 1901, successfully operating the store until it sold to Albert Rothe. The two story adobe structure was built with cedar and redwood beams. The cast metal facade was added to the front of the building by Charles Renaud. It is one of the largest adobe structures in Cochise County.
