Denver's City and County Building is a historic building in the Denver Civic Center, built to house Denver government bureaus.[citation needed]

It was built in 1932, facing the Colorado State Capitol, at the west end of Civic Center Park, at 1437 Bannock Street, on land that had been home to the La Veta Place apartments, home to some of Denver's early high society members, including Louise Sneed Hill.[1] It is Greek Revival in style. It was kept low in height to preserve the Capitol building's view of mountains.[2]
