Retirement
Cooper declined to seek reelection in 1890, and returned to his law practice. He later formed a construction business and built Denver's Cooper Building, which is considered an architectural gem to this day. From 1893 to 1897, he served as President of the local Chamber of Commerce. He died at the relatively young age of 55 and is buried in Block 24 of Denver's Fairmount Cemetery.
