Down and Out in Denver

Capitol Hill Apartments

Posted in architecture, capitol hill apartments, denver by Alastair on January 27, 2010

As you may have read, the apartment buildings of Capitol Hill are some of my favorites. See The Patrician. I don’t know of any particular reason for the names but one street is called ‘Poets Row” because of the naming. In an attempt to find out more, I’ve recently contacted a Denver historian to see if they could shed a little more light on the subject.

In the meantime here’s another gem from the neighborhood, the Galaxy, located at 1260 Humboldt Street. Perhaps the only space-aged feature of this structure (which now houses condominiums) is the distinctly Jetsons-esque typeface employed on the front of the building to spell out its name.
