Brown Palace Hotel, Denver
Creator:Collier, Joseph
Date:1892-1910Summary
The Brown Palace was built on a triangle of land between Broadway, Tremont and 17th streets in downtown Denver, Colorado, in 1892 by Denver real estate developer Henry C. Brown, Maxcy Tabor (son of Horace Tabor) and Bill Bush, manager of the Windsor Hotel, also in Denver. Designed by architect Frank C. Edbrooke, the final cost of the granite and sandstone hotel was reportedly $2 million. The building was one of the first in America to be fireproof and, as such, appeared on the cover of Scientific American magazine. Shown here, striped awnings hang over the storefronts of the building. Two men walk across the intersection. A horse is in the left foreground. Lettering advertising the "Highlands Drug Store" is painted at the top of a building in the midground. Several cable cars are in the left background.
