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 (working with city council, city agencies and private sector interests on landmarking and other preservation issues), technical services and educational programs (grant management, preservation information resources, publications, workshops), membership events (Annual Tour of Homes, Annual Dinner, Angels in the Architecture Concert, Molly Brown House events) and direct stewardship of historic resources (easement program, Molly Brown House Museum.)
30 Years of Success
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:

Paramount Theater
(developed reuse plan and helped raise $1.5 million for renovation)
