Product Information
In spite of its relentless reputation as a cow town, Denver has grown from a dusty prairie burg into a thriving metropolis nestled against the foothills of the great Rocky Mountains. Gold brought the area's first settlers in the 1850s, and mining camps sprouted up along the confluence of Cherry Creek and the South Platte River. The first rudimentary structures of canvas, mud, and logs were soon replaced with sturdy buildings made of brick, stone, and wood, in what is now affectionately referred to as Lodo or the lower downtown district. City growth worked its way uptown and to the east from this neighborhood of houses, hotels, shops, and commercial buildings, eventually encompassing Capitol Hill. Many well-known people worked and lived in downtown Denver and Capitol Hill, including the infamous Margaret Molly Brown of Titanic fame, railroad man David Moffat, merchant prince Charles Boettcher, druggist-turned-entrepreneur Walter Scott Cheesman, and Denver's notorious lovers, Horace Tabor and his wife Baby Doe.

Title: Two books, one long look at Denver architecture Author: Ray Mark Rinaldi Publisher: Denver Post Date: 07/26/2010 Nothing records an era quite as reliably as architecture. History may lie, but buildings tell their own stories. The point is driven home by two new photo books offering snapshots of Denver then and now. The slim, soft-covered "Denver's Early Architecture" captures the city's elegant building boom of roughly 1880 to 1920, when Denver was just joining the lineup of American metropolises, and builders aimed to show off its affluence to a growing populace and fresh class of tourists. The other, "City by Design," a glossy coffee-table book, spotlights in slick detail some of the best new projects to go up in the past decade or so, a time when builders sought to seal Denver's identity as a player in a global, green-leaning The thrilling take-away: What a difference a century makes, not just in technical advances and context, but in attitude. A hundred years ago, the trend was to mimic the best of Europe past -- Italy, Greece, France -- and update the details for an era when new elevators allowed buildings to go higher and mass transportation let them spread farther. Today, the momentum comes from the desire of ambitious designers to woo clients with a functional respect for existing neighborhoods, an embrace of technology and a search for an identity that marries old sophistication with the new West. The downside: Classicism is dead, or nearly. The designs that cling to columns and arches come across as halfhearted tokens, not authentic tributes to great days past. Instead, a newer, stripped-down form of internationalism rules, one that allows most of these buildings to look as much at home in Denver as they would in San Francisco, Abu Dhabi or Beijing. This isn't the case just in Denver but the illumination of architectural stylings for an entire country that has developed -- for better or worse -- a look of its own over the past 10 decades. Jazzed up by manifest destinies realized, A century ago, we were copycats with the money to do it better. Today, we are confident, rational thinkers who have learned that red bricks can still make fine buildings (sometimes, and in moderation), luxury is second to purpose, and the best buildings mark their own time and thinking. Getting specific "Denver's Early Architecture," by James Bretz ($21.99, Arcadia Publishing), could make a preservationist out of the most hardened developer. What a great city Denver was when the money Just 121 small pages and containing little more than black-and-white photos and spotty captions with the most basic details of where, when and what materials were used, the book recalls the grand civic ambitions that lifted Denver above the grit. Read it and weep about amazing once-were structures like the five- story Windsor Hotel at 18th and Larimer streets, built in 1879 and clad in lava stone and ornamental iron. Its 176 rooms were supplied with hot and cold water, an amenity luxurious enough to lure presidents as guests. It was torn down in 1959. Architect E.P. Brink's Albany Hotel at 17th and Stout streets was built in 1882 and featured two rarities, bay windows and electricity. Its lobby was full There were theaters both elegant and gaudy. The Tabor Grand Opera House, funded by Horace Tabor in 1881 and designed by brothers Willoughby and Frank E. Edbrooke, was partly constructed with exotic Japanese cherry and Honduran mahogany. It featured a giant rotunda and curved balconies, and capping the auditorium was a dome 30 feet wide. It came down in 1964. Some are revelations, such as the quietly elegant L'Imperiale Hotel at 314 14th St., designed in a Tuscan style in 1892 by Charles H. Lee and
