ENGLEWOOD, Colo. - Sept. 4, 2015 - PRLog -- Costco to Host Book Signing For Lost Denver

Local author, Mark A. Barnhouse, will be available to sign copies of book

Newcomers to the “Mile-High City” of Denver, whether arriving during the 19^th, 20^th, or 21^st centuries, have often remarked on how new the city seems, and how proud its citizens are of it. Heady boom times at various intervals have inspired successive waves of city builders eager to make their mark by building grand, new edifices. Often, these new wonders replaced older structures that earlier Denverites had once seen as great accomplishments. As Denver has grown to become the hub of a major American metropolis, remnants of its earlier heritage have vanished into history, leaving newcomers to ponder, “What makes Denver Denver?” and longtime residents to ask, “Where has my Denver gone?” Lost Denver celebrates what the city once built and has since lost, along with what has made it unique, exploring where and how Denverites once worked, shopped, and played.

Highlights of Lost Denver include:

Covers both the “old past,” things that have been gone for decades, as well as the “recent past,” buildings and institutions that were born and died within the memory of living people.
Includes photos of almost all of the old Curtis Street theaters, Denver’s “Great White Way” in the 1920s and 1930s.
Features a multi-page treatment on Celebrity Sports Center

“I worry that the great wave of historic preservation that grew into a major force in the 1960s and 1970s has largely dissipated, as the people who were behind that movement have begun dying off.  I want this book, a veritable catalog of demolished landmarks, to remind people of the importance of historic preservation.” Mark Barnhouse
