About this item

A Timberline Book Denver Landmarks and Historic Districts, Second Edition is the newest, most thorough guide to Denver's 51 historic districts and more than 331 individually landmarked properties. This lavishly illustrated volume celebrates Denver's oldest banks, churches, clubs, hotels, libraries, schools, restaurants, mansions, and show homes. Denver is unusually fortunate to retain much of its significant architectural heritage. The Denver Landmark Preservation Commission (1967) , Historic Denver, Inc. (1970) , Colorado Preservation, Inc. (1984) , and History Colorado (1879) have all worked to identify and preserve Denver buildings notable for architectural, geographical, or historical significance. Since the 1970s, Denver has designated more landmarks than any other US city of comparable size.
