About Larimer Square

Larimer Square is the 1400 block of Larimer Street, the oldest commercial block in Denver, laid out in 1858 during the Pikes Peak gold rush. Most of its brick and stone buildings date from the 1870s to the 1890s and now hold shops, restaurants and event spaces. It became the city's first designated historic district in 1971 after preservationist Dana Crawford fought its demolition. It is an easy block to walk, and it is known for seasonal lighting displays.
