The Denver Architectural Foundation's annual two-day event celebrating Denver's architecture and built environment is back this Saturday and Sunday, April 29 and 30. The event will feature dozens of Denver landmarks and historic district properties as well as "Box City," a free event in the Webb Municipal Building on Saturday for kids to learn about architecture and urban development.

In addition, on Sunday, Senior City Planner Abbey Christman will lead a tour of the mid-century modern homes in Krisana Park, and its recently adopted conservation overlay district.

About Landmark Preservation

Landmark preservation is an important function of Denver Community Planning and Development. Denver City Council enacted the Denver Landmark Ordinance in 1967 to foster the protection, enhancement, perpetuation and use of structures and districts of historical, architectural and/or geographic significance.

Staff in our Landmark Preservation office and two landmark boards carry out that mission through design review, historic surveys and landmark designations. Staff also assists owners of historic properties by providing guidance and resources for preserving, maintaining and rehabilitating historic buildings and properties. You can learn more about Denver's preservation efforts at Denvergov.org/landmark. Follow us on Twitter at @DenverCPD.
