The American National Bank Building, at 818 17th Street, was built in 1911 as the thirteen-story headquarters of the First National Bank of Denver — the first high-rise building on 17th Street. Designed by Chicago architect Harry W. J. Edbrooke, its front facade was finished in terra cotta and stone ornament. The building later took the American National Bank name and today operates as the Magnolia Hotel.

Annunciation Church, an Archdiocese of Denver parish at 3601 Humboldt Street, was built between 1904 and 1907 to a design by architect Frederick Paroth. Its red brick walls and white cut stone trim mix Gothic Revival and Romanesque Revival forms, and a planned steeple and bell tower were never built, leaving the roof-peak cross as the building's highest point.

The Bailey House was built in 1889 for a Mr. G.W. Bailey and designed by Denver architect William A. Lang, who was active in the city from 1885 to 1893. It stands as the largest of Lang's surviving residential commissions, a corner-towered Queen Anne house from Denver's Victorian building years. The design blends Queen Anne massing with Richardsonian Romanesque materials and detailing, a combination typical of Lang's eclectic Denver work.

Denver philanthropist Helen Bonfils built this theater in 1953 in memory of her parents, Frederick Gilmer Bonfils and Belle Barton Bonfils, and it staged more than 400 plays, operas, concerts, films, and lectures before closing in 1986. Designed by Denver architect John K. Monroe in the Art Moderne (Streamline Moderne) style, the one-story, 66,000-square-foot building sat vacant for two decades until Charles Woolley of the St. Charles Town Company renovated it into a Tattered Cover bookstore in 2006.

The Boston Building, completed in 1890 at the corner of 17th and Champa Streets, was designed by the Boston firm Andrews, Jaques & Rantoul — the same architects behind Denver's nearby Equitable Building — and was dubbed the city's first 'strictly modern office building' when it opened. Rising nine stories and 115 feet, it mixes Renaissance Revival and Romanesque Revival detailing in Denver's historic downtown core.
The Brown Palace Hotel, at 321 17th Street in downtown Denver, was built in 1892 of sandstone and red granite to a design by Frank Edbrooke, the city's leading Gilded Age architect, who gave it a distinctive triangular footprint one year after completing his own Oxford Hotel nearby. It was named for original owner Henry C. Brown, who had homesteaded the Capitol Hill area. It's the second-longest continuously operating hotel in Denver and one of the earliest atrium-style hotels built anywhere.

Saint John's Cathedral, seat of the Episcopal Diocese of Colorado, traces its roots to January 1860, when Father John H. Kehler traveled from Virginia to the mining camps of Denver City and delivered the first Episcopal services in what became Colorado Territory. He named the resulting parish St. John's in the Wilderness because the nearest Episcopal parish was seven hundred miles away, in Kansas. The current Gothic Revival building, designed by the firm Tracy and Swartwout, began construction in 1909 after an earlier fire, with the first service held in 1911.

The cathedral of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Denver, this Gothic Revival church at Logan Street and Colfax Avenue seats 895 people. Construction began in 1901, the building was completed in 1911, and it was dedicated in 1912; it succeeded the city's original 1860 St. Mary's Church, whose windows had to be covered with canvas for lack of glass. Pope Pius IX had made St. Mary's the first cathedral of the Vicariate Apostolic of Colorado and Utah in 1868, and Denver's growing Catholic population outgrew it within a decade.

The Colorado State Capitol, at 200 East Colfax Avenue, has housed the Colorado General Assembly and the offices of the Governor, Lieutenant Governor, and State Treasurer since it opened in November 1894. Designed by Elijah E. Myers — an architect who designed multiple American state capitols — it was built through the 1890s of Colorado white granite in a Neoclassical style deliberately reminiscent of the United States Capitol in Washington. It anchors Denver's Civic Center and is a fixture of the city's architectural tours.

The Denver Tramway Company Building, at 1100 14th Street, was completed in 1910 for the Denver Tramway Company.

It is both a Denver Landmark and listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

John Elitch and Mary Elitch Long opened this theater on May 1, 1890, as part of Elitch Gardens, making it Denver's first professional theater. Inspired by Shakespeare's Globe, the open-air venue was enclosed and rebuilt in 1891 for $100,000, and in 1893 it became home to the Norcross Company, America's first summer-stock theater troupe, a role it held into the 1960s.

Architects Louise Marlow and Joseph P. Marlow designed this Hilltop residence for Lloyd M. Joshel, completing it around 1950-51 as, by the National Register's own account, one of the finest examples of International Style residential architecture in Denver — a style far more common locally in commercial towers than in private houses.

The Molly Brown House Museum, also known as the House of Lions, was built in 1889 and designed by architect William A. Lang for original owners Isaac and Mary Large, blending Queen Anne and Richardsonian Romanesque styles. After the 1893 repeal of the Sherman Silver Purchase Act forced the Larges to sell, James Joseph (J.J.) Brown bought the house in 1894 for $30,000, transferring title to his wife Margaret in 1898. Margaret Brown survived the sinking of the RMS Titanic and became known first as the 'Heroine of the Titanic' and later as 'The Unsinkable Molly Brown'; the house is now a museum interpreting her life, Victorian Denver, and historic preservation.

The Paramount Theatre opened in 1930 as a movie house on the Paramount-Publix Theatre Circuit, the exhibition arm of Paramount Pictures, with the auditorium itself designed by the Chicago firm Rapp and Rapp. Its main entrance today, on Glenarm Place, was originally a secondary entrance built into a three-story office and commercial building designed by local architect Temple H. Buell — the theatre's true original entry was two blocks away, at 519 16th Street. Seating 1,870, it remains a favored setting for touring acts who want something more intimate than an arena.

Smelting-fortune couple Crawford Hill and Louise Sneed Hill built this 19,000-square-foot mansion in 1906 at the corner of Tenth and Sherman, designed by architect Theodore Davis Boal in a châteauesque, French Renaissance Revival style. Louise Sneed Hill reigned over Denver high society from the house — society she notoriously closed to Jews and Catholics — which makes its later life as home to the Jewish Town Club a sharp historical irony.

Denver Union Station, at 1701-1777 Wynkoop Street, traces back to the city's first train station, built in 1868 for the Denver Pacific Railway's connection to the transcontinental line at Cheyenne, Wyoming. A station first opened on the current site on June 1, 1881, burned down in 1894, and was rebuilt in two stages, with an enlarged central portion completed in 1914. A 2012 renovation turned the historic station house into the anchor of a new transit-oriented district, reopening in 2014 with the 112-room Crawford Hotel alongside restaurants and shops.

Completed in 1892 for $1.5 million, the Equitable Building was Denver's tallest building at 125 feet and nine stories, a title it held until the Daniels & Fisher Tower surpassed it in 1911. Designed by the firm Andrews, Jaques & Rantoul during Denver's early-1890s building boom, the steel-framed office tower was built to be self-sufficient, drawing on an artesian well in its basement that still runs its elevators today.

The Evans family remained until 1981, when the house was donated to History Colorado.
