The building was a Buddhist temple and warehouse from 1920 until 1998.

Union Station

<nil>

Found at the heart of Denver, Lower Downtown - aka LoDo - is the perfect blend of nostalgia and modernity. This bustling neighborhood is home to nearly 100 restaurants, clubs, galleries, shops, and hospitality businesses, making it the perfect place to explore for residents and tourists alike. LoDo’s rich history dates back to 1858, when gold was discovered at the confluence of the South Platte River and Cherry Creek.

Duration 60 minutes

Dairy Block

This historic block located in Denver’s LoDo neighborhood was once home to Windsor Dairy, and is now a vibrant micro-district that boasts 15 shops, 19 restaurants, seven bars, a luxury co-working space, and a 172-room boutique hotel.

Denver Union Station

<nil>

From its original 1881 incarnation as the Denver Union Depot to its 2014 rebirth as the cultural heart of the Mile High City, Union Station has taken many different forms over the years. Today it serves as Denver's main railway station and central transportation hub as well as a vibrant space for staying, eating, gathering and shopping.

Duration 10 minutes

The Oxford Hotel

The Oxford Hotel opened in 1891 and is now Denver’s oldest surviving hotel. Developed by brewer Adolph Zang and designed by architect Frank Edbrooke, the hotel originally provided a luxurious stay for travelers passing through nearby Union Station. After being restored and revitalized in the early 1980s by Charles Calloway and Dana Crawford, the Oxford became one of Denver’s first modern boutique hotels and an anchor of Lower Downtown’s revival.

Rockmount Ranch Wear Mfg Co

<nil>

Rockmount Ranch Wear was started in Denver by “Papa” Jack Weil in 1946. Over the years the company has played a leading role in the development of Western wear, as it was the first company to put snaps on Western shirts and the first to commercially produce bolo ties. The Smithsonian and the Autry Museum of the American West have Rockmount items in their collections. The company is still family owned, and Jack was the world’s oldest CEO, going to work every day until his passing at 107.
