Keep in mind that the old Denver Public School headquarters is right across the street (which I consider one of the ugliest buildings in Denver), and other non-historic buildings line Grant from 6th to Colfax.
Another case of landmark preservation over-reach? Discuss. |
I think the large scale is outside the norm, but I love the courtyards and the change along the top floor .
For a "historic" district, they sure put up some ugly monstrosities during the 60's-80's.. There are many buildings that wouldn't even get a sniff if they were proposed today. In comparison, I'm sure this proposal would blow them out of the water.
I assume underground parking, right?
