General Electric Building

Located on the corner of 18th and Blake streets, the Denver Rock Drill and Machinery Company constructed the circa 1906 three-story brick building.  General Electric later used the building as its primary distribution center for electrical supplies.  The street level storefronts and the building’s deep cornice are metal. 

Thumbnail

Gebhard Mansion

Located within the San Rafael Historic District, the well-preserved 1883 Gebhard Mansion is considered to be one of Denver’s finest residential examples of the Italianate style.  The hipped roof of the two-story brick building is accented with several decorative gables and there is a deep bracketed cornice. 

Thumbnail

Russell & Elinor Gates Mansion

The 1892 dwelling is associated with merchant Russell Gates and his wife, Elinor.  Gates established a series of successful mercantile and related businesses in Elbert and El Paso counties.

Thumbnail

Gas & Electric Building / Public Service Company Building

The 1910 ten-story Sullivanesque style building was designed by prominent Denver architect Harry W.J. Edbrooke for the Denver Gas and Electric Company, reportedly as a promotional tool.  The somewhat fanciful structure, considered by many to be Denver’s grandest illuminated building, is distinguished by its terra cotta cladding and the 13,000 electric light bulbs that form geometric patterns around and between the primarily double hung windows. 

Thumbnail

Fourth Church of Christ, Scientist (Denver)

The 1921 Fourth Church of Christ embodies the distinctive characteristics of the Italian Renaissance Revival style as executed by two master Denver architects, Burnham F. Hoyt and Merrill H. Hoyt of the firm Hoyt and Hoyt.

Thumbnail

Four Mile House

With a portion dating from 1859, Four Mile House is Denver’s earliest surviving structure.  The location served as the last stage stop, before entering Denver, on the Wells Fargo Butterfield Stage route between El Paso and Denver. 

Thumbnail

Ernest LeNeve Foster House / Cathcart House

During a four decade period Ernest Foster managed major mines in Clear Creek, Gilpin, and Summit counties, notably the Snow Drift, Fletcher, Colorado Central, and Saratoga. 

Thumbnail

A.C. Foster Building / University Building

Constructed in 1911, the twelve-story office building was designed by noted Denver architects William E. and Arthur A. Fisher. While the first and second stories are surfaced with smooth cut granite, the walls are primarily of dark brown brick.  The 16th St. facade is composed of seven bays, with segmental arches topping the five central bays.  

Thumbnail

Fort Logan National Cemetery

Fort Logan National Cemetery is nationally significant for its association with the development of military and veterans cemeteries during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries by the federal government.  Fort Logan National Cemetery has a history that dates back to the late nineteenth century as the U.S. Army consolidated its Western posts as the frontier shrank, lessening the need for the smaller posts.  Further, it is tied to Colorado's ongoing attempts to attract and keep federal installations during the twentieth century. 

Forest Street Parkway

This 0.3-mile parkway, by an unknown planner, presents a simple and elegant design in the manner of Olmsted’s East 17th Avenue Parkway.
