The old Denver Rio Grande and Western Rail Road shop buildings are being slowly dismantled. The idea was originally to restore the buildings as a maintenance depot for UTA buses, but structural problems sent the costs too high. Instead UTA is salvaging the old bricks, which will be used on the exterior of the new structure that will be built on the same site.
It's always sad to lose historic buildings, but I'm not so torn up about this one. The buildings were utilitarian from the very beginning and were not designed to be long lasting. It is amazing they lasted this long.
