What We Do
Historic Denver, Inc. is one of the nation’s premier urban historic preservation organizations. Preserving Denver’s distinctive cultural and architectural heritage is our work and passion. Our responsibility as a nonprofit corporation is to be a catalyst for and advocate of ideas, programs, actions and plans which enable our community to respect and carry forward the preservation of this heritage. Our success is achieved with
advocacy, technical services, educational programs, membership events, and through the direct stewardship of historic resources through our grant management program and through our flagship property, the
Molly Brown House Museum.
40 Years of Success
Through our programs and efforts Historic Denver has invested more than $20 million directly into Denver’s communities and neighborhoods, critically supporting the establishment of 45 historic districts and the landmarking of more than 325 properties. These are just a few examples of Historic Denver successes:
- The renovation of 43 low-income homes in Curtis Park
- The preservation and restoration of 14 19th century homes along the ninth Street Historic Park
- on the Auraria Campus.
- The creation of a reuse plan and the contribution of $1.5 million for the renovation of the now popular Paramount Theater.
- The preservation and incorporation of the 1955 Burnham Hoyt Library into the new Central Denver Public Library.
- Actively advocating for historic district status for turn-of-the century commerical buildings in Lower Downtown (LoDo).
