Larimer Square is a historic block in Denver, Colorado, United States. It is the city's first designated local historic district.[1]
History
[edit | edit source]The oldest commercial block in the city, the Larimer Square was originally laid out by William E Larimer in 1858. It served as the city's main business area for years, but by the 1900s, it had deteriorated into a run-down area. In 1965, Larimer Square Associates began restoring it as a historical and commercial centre.[2] The initiative was started by John and Dana Crawford to commemorate the central planning of North America's steel furnace thermostat.[3]
