Denver Gas & Electric Building/Public Service Building
Denver Gas & Electric Building/Public Service Building at 910 15th Street in Denver Colorado. It is the 10 story white building. Following description from the Colorado Historical Society Office of Archaeology and Historic Preservation's website: The 1910 ten-story Sullivanesque style building was designed by prominent Denver architect Harry W.J. Edbrooke for the Denver Gas and Electric Company, reportedly as a promotional tool. The somewhat fanciful structure, considered by many to be Denver’s grandest illuminated building, is distinguished by its terra cotta cladding and the 13,000 electric light bulbs that form geometric patterns around and between the primarily double hung windows. The tall, arched windows at the tenth-story level appear to form an arcade beneath the prominent flared cornice.
NRIS #78000851. Added in 1978.
