The 19th-Century History of Palace Lofts & 1400 Blake Street
Before it became a luxury residential landmark, the 1400 block of Blake Street was the heartbeat of Denver’s “Wild West” entertainment. In the late 1800s, the site hosted the famous Palace Hotel and Variety Theater.
Historical archives, such as those found in the Denver Public Library’s Digital Collection, showcase an 1898 photo of the block teeming with horse-drawn carriages and bustling commerce. While the original structures eventually gave way to the decline of the mid-20th century, the spirit of the “Palace” was reborn in the 1990s through a massive revitalization project that transformed the area into the LoDo we love today.

- 10-foot concrete ceilings for a true industrial feel.

- Large windows offering views of the Rocky Mountains and the downtown skyline.
