Urban legend holds that a tunnel once connected The Brown Palace Hotel with the historic Navarre building across the street. It is rumored that gentlemen staying at the hotel traveled discreetly by rail car through the tunnel to the Navarre, a one-time house of gambling and prostitution.
Historic Denver, Inc. was founded in 1970 to preserve and protect Denver’s important historic buildings and sites. The primary catalyst for the group’s original efforts, led by Ann Love (the wife of former Colorado Governor John Love), was the purchase of the historic Denver residence of “Molly” (Margaret Tobin) Brown in order to save it from demolition and preserve the structure for future generations of Denver’s citizens. The Molly Brown House continues to be owned and operated by Historic Denver today.
Since that beginning over 35 years ago, Historic Denver has expanded its mission considerably to create a variety of programs to help protect Denver’s most valuable architectural landmarks. Historic Denver is one of the leading urban preservation organizations in the country.
For all jobs and internships Historic Denver seeks enthusiastic and committed staff with a passion for history and preservation.
Historic Denver also frequently welcomes unpaid interns to support a variety of programs. Please direct materials to: Historic Denver, Inc., attention: Human Resources, 1628 16th Street, Suite 200, Denver, Colorado
