Historic photos of Fairmount Hall from its earliest days as a community gathering place — long before it would become JXN Station.
We've been hosting events and having as much fun as possible since the beginning. It all started with the purchase of the historic Fairmount Hall in August 2005, the original event center in the town of Fairmount — near what is now Colorado Mesa University and Rem's Place — laying the foundation for what would eventually become JXN Station.
Deb Hogstad sets up Fairmount Hall's initial community event space and kitchen, and promotes Historic Fairmount Hall as an event space for meetings, banquets, classes, receptions, and more — laying the groundwork for the community focus that would carry through to JXN Station.
A full remodel of the historic building begins, lifting the entire structure to level it out and building out what would become the Experience Center, ahead of its new life as JXN Station.
JXN Station's operations begin inside the historic Fairmount Hall, with Mountain View Window & Door opening its second Grand Junction location — the open house invitation and showroom from October 2014.
We've been training and building brands for a long time. Mountain View Window & Door hosts a Training and Technology seminar at Historic Fairmount Hall in February 2015 with Milgard and ThermaTru, followed by a Spring Training event in March 2015 with David Stawser of Andersen Windows & Doors, covering the Andersen product portfolio and the new 100 Series line.
We've been involved with the Home Builders Association and events like the Parade of Homes for decades. Here are some of the beautiful projects we were part of in 2017.
As internet sales changed the landscape, we discontinued our hardware showroom — just like we do with the community of JXN Station, we adapt as the market shifts.
The Grand Junction expansion begins with closing on the building at 25 Road — Devon and Sarah at closing, Rick and Keith building out the second-floor structure, Grant and Don arriving to help turn the space into the MVWD Experience Center with coworking above, Devon welding signs at the Turkey Toe Blacksmith shop, and moving "the spaceship" into the new building.
With the new 25 Road facility underway, the original Fairmount Hall location is sold to Rem's Tobacco Shop, closing out that chapter of the building's history.
Window and door products are gathered and transferred from Denver to Grand Junction to stock the new MVWD Experience Center.
Custom art letters for the new 25 Road building were built during the initial Turkey Toe retreats.

Cindi McMurray of CP Designs has been part of JXN Station since the very beginning in 2018 and is still a valued member of our community today — a true original. We're proud to have her design expertise as part of JXN Station's story from day one. Here's a look back at her original space, since converted into a server room, along with CP Designs' very first layout of JXN Station's Experience Center.
