For about seven years it looked As if the handsome victorian building a perhaps the City a most colourful landmark a might be demolished for yet another Glassy eyed Tower but by one of those modern marvels and lot of human determination it was saved. The Navarre is both on the National Register of historic places and a designated Denver landmark. Denver is doubly fortunate to retain such a splendid building from our past on the downtown scene and to have such a magnificent new museum one that delineates our Western history so vividly. The excellent Art is presented with a historical perspective so that you begin on tile third floor with paintings before the White Many a arrival on through to today.

The museum was featured in the october Issue of a Interior in addition to the Joy of saving the Navarre and having it enjoyed by the Public there was another far reaching precedent connected with the building. Because citizens did no to want to lose their designated landmarks downtown they backed legislation that makes it possible for the building owner to receive some of the benefits of a landmarks location without tearing it Down for a new building. If it is a designated landmark a say three stories a in the downtown where a 10-Story building would be permitted by the zoning regulations the owner May sell those a a unused development rights to a new building within the same downtown n zone.
