Remembering Lost Denver

Throughout its history, newcomers to Denver have often remarked on how new the city seems, and how proud its citizens are of it. Heady boom times have inspired successive waves of city builders eager to make their mark by building grand new edifices. Often, these new wonders replaced older structures that earlier generations had once seen as great accomplishments. As Denver has grown to become the hub of a major American metropolis, remnants of its earlier heritage have vanished into history, leaving newcomers to ponder, “what makes Denver Denver?” and long-time residents to ask, “where has my Denver gone?” Lost Denver author Mark A. Barnhouse will evoke memories of Denver’s glorious, and sometimes not so glorious, lost buildings.
