The beloved thoroughfare at the heart of Denver, Sixteenth Street
has always been the Mile-High City's "Main Street." Sixteenth
Street got its jump start in 1879 when Leadville's Silver King and
Colorado's richest man, Horace Austin Warner Tabor, came to town
and built the city's first five-story skyscraper at the corner of
Sixteenth and Larimer Streets. In coming years, Sixteenth Street
became Denver's main retail center as shopkeepers and department
store owners constructed ever-more impressive palaces, culminating
in the Daniels and Fisher Tower--the city's tallest building for
five decades and the symbol of the city. In the second half of the
20th century, Sixteenth Street saw major changes, including the
creation of one of the most successful pedestrian malls in the
country, an archetype of the power of great urban places and an
inspiration to other cities, large and small.
