Magazine, January 9, 2011
This image is included
in an article, "The
Hickenlooper Exception", by New York Times writer, Frank Bruni.
The image reflects a lot of work by a lot of people
including those in the image, and currently, the many
individuals whose efforts made the publication possible.
It is an honor to be recognized for my role; I work hard,
things fell into place!

Westword Magazine,
January 12, 2011
These images are included in the article "Worth
a Thousand Words: John Hickenlooper and the Wynkoop's Founders"
by Editor Patricia Calhoun.
In the article, Patricia describes
the feeling of excitement that permeated lower downtown
in the 1980's, and how this time represented a large
part in re-aligning our history while moving
optimistically into the future.
When a hometown editor
writes a wonderful article that I am part of, it just
doesn't get any better! To me, Patricia and her staff
represent the true underlying soul of Denver!
Denver is on the move, a progressive, liberal city that
has worked hard to become a force in the Western United
States.

Tremont House
Looking North at the basement foundation of the Tremont
House 1989
Wow, from below the
ground to above ground, things have changed
considerably.
This scene is at the approximate location of 12th Street
and Blake Street with the east bound Speer Viaduct
slicing through the image.
The Denver Firehouse, below the viaduct still remains.
The viaduct has been demolished and the remains of the
Tremont House have been paved over as part of the east
bound lane of Speer Boulevard.
The Tremont House was originally built of wood around
1859,
yeah 1859. At that time, it was a hotel, but in 1910 the
structure was
ravaged by flood waters and destroyed.
The rebuilding began - this time with brick - and reached
a level
of 3 stories.
It was said to be a fine little hotel for the day; you
just had
to keep an eye on the water levels of the Cherry Creek
river
and the Platte River to the west!

commentary, please

Auraria section.
Colorado State Capital
From the bell-tower of Central Presbyterian Church
looking South at the State Capital 1992
From 17th and Sherman, we
are looking through a mesh covered portal at the strong
and majestic design and structure of the Colorado State
Capital.
Both of these buildings were built close to the same
time and anchored each other on Sherman Street.
The Colorado State Capital was completed in 1894 and the
Central Presbyterian Church was blessed a couple years
prior in 1892.
