Our much-loved program, Cocktails in Cool Places, returns with an exciting slate of buildings to enjoy. The next event in this year’s series will take place at the Ironworks Building, near lower Colfax and Larimer. Join us for a captivating evening inside the iconic Midwest Steel and Ironworks Building — a true Denver landmark with roots dating back to 1903. Once home to one of the city’s largest and oldest metal fabricators, this storied space holds more than a century of history within its walls.
As you explore this remarkable structure, you’ll also dive into the rich heritage of the West Colfax neighborhood. We’re thrilled to partner with the Rocky Mountain Jewish Historical Society and the Beck Archives for an illuminating look at the early Jewish community that helped shape this vibrant area.
Don’t miss this rare opportunity to experience Denver’s past in one of its most historic spaces — secure your tickets today!

All 170 of the homes in Denver were built in the Harvey Park neighborhood, designed to be both prefabricated and elegant in their minimalism. Local expert Atom Stevens leads this tour in southwest Denver, while also sharing his personal experience as a longtime owner of a Cliff May home.

ABOUT OUR EVENTS

Molly Brown House Museum

Historic Denver saved the Molly Brown House from demolition in 1970, and has operated it as a House Museum since then. Proudly it is one of only a handful of historic sites dedicated to Women’s History. The Museum interprets and preserves the legacy of Margaret “Molly” Tobin Brown’s life so that current and future generations may understand and appreciate the social, economic, and political aspects of Victorian life in Denver. Enjoy a tour or one of  the many interesting and entertaining events offered at the museum  and know that you are supporting Historic Denver’s mission and ensuring the Molly Brown House’s future.
