An Unforgettable Evening Celebrating Denver’s Built Environment & Diverse Stories

Historic Denver’s 55th Annual Gala & Awards Dinner, held on October 16, 2025, at the Brown Palace Hotel, brought together more than 400 guests to celebrate the people and projects shaping Denver’s story. The historic atrium and ballroom were filled with civic and business leaders, design professionals, advocates, and friends—all united in honoring the places and stories that define our city.

The evening featured a surprise performance by opera singers from Central City Opera during the cocktail reception and the exciting announcement of the new Alan Golin Gass Modernism Award, named in honor of our 2025 Keystone Award recipient and to be presented in partnership with Docomomo Colorado in the years ahead.

We extend our warmest congratulations to all of this year’s honorees for their outstanding contributions to Denver’s built environment, cultural vitality, and community spirit. Their leadership and vision continue to inspire our shared work to preserve the character and soul of this city we all cherish.

Thanks to the generosity of our guests and supporters, we raised over $100,000 to further Historic Denver’s mission. These funds strengthen our advocacy efforts, educational programming at the Molly Brown House Museum, neighborhood tours, and preservation projects across the city. And for those who couldn’t join us, there’s still time to show your support by becoming a member or making a contribution to continue this vital work.
