Inspiration Point

This park on a bluff affords a view of nearly 200 miles of the front range of the Rocky Mountains, as well as the entire city of Denver.  

Thumbnail

Iliff Hall

Iliff Hall, constructed in 1892, remains an important center for theological education in the United Methodist Church.  The building is an important example of the Richardsonian Romanesque style, while also revealing influences from the Gothic Revival.

Thumbnail

Ideal Building

Reported to be the first multi-level building constructed of reinforced concrete west of the Mississippi, the eight-story structure is topped with a penthouse level.  Designed by Montana Fallis and John Stein, the building was constructed in 1907 by the Dome Investment Co. for Claude Boettcher in order to promote the capabilities of his Colorado Portland Cement Company. 

Ideal Basic Cement Company Corporate Hangar

The 1959 aircraft hangar embodies the distinctive characteristics of a type and method of construction – a thin shell concrete barrel vault.  Thin shell construction was popular primarily from World War II through the 1960s.  The building is also notable for its early use of post tensioning to control structure behavior and cracking.

Hungarian Freedom Park / Arlington Park

Hungarian Freedom and Alamo Placita Parks illustrate the early plan to develop parks facing each other on opposite sides of Speer Boulevard and Cherry Creek.

Thumbnail

Humboldt Street Historic District

Located west of Cheesman Park, the district includes 24 large residences constructed between 1895 and 1920.  Relatively simple versions of the Foursquare style are represented as well as richly detailed examples of other popular styles of the period such as the Colonial Revival, Georgian Revival, and Renaissance Revival.

Thumbnail

W.A. Hover & Company Building

The 1901 William A. Hover & Company Building is associated with the development of the wholesale drug industry from 1901 to 1949.  The Hover Co. grew into one of the largest regional drug supply companies, serving Colorado and the surrounding states.

Thumbnail

Crawford Hill Mansion

Theodore Boal designed the 1906 house for Crawford and Louise Hill.  Mrs. Hill led Denver’s socially elite "Sacred 36" and entertained many distinguished guests, among them U.S. President William Howard Taft.

Thumbnail

Holy Rosary Church & School

Located in Denver’s ethnically diverse Globeville neighborhood, the church and school played an important role in the social and educational activities of the Slovenian and Croatian families of the parish.  The complex of three brick buildings is also important architecturally. 

Thumbnail

Highlands Masonic Lodge

Constructed in 1905, the building is a good intact example of the Neo-Classical style as designed by an unknown architect.
