Mosque of the El Jebel Shrine Temple (1770 Sherman Street Event Complex)

Denver County

This 1907 building, one of the best examples of Moorish-inspired architecture in Colorado, utilizes Middle Eastern architectural styles to create ceremonial spaces in keeping with the spirit and rituals of the Ancient Order of Nobles of the Mystic Shrine.  The architects, the Baerresen Brothers, reached the pinnacle of their prolific practice with its design.
