"After the big fire in the late 19th century, the city insisted that everything be built in brick and stone, for instance. So a lot of buildings during the late 19th century were alike." </P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.denverpost.com/ci_7113767?source=rss"><P>I was equally surprised to find that many pictures of downtown Denver, including the picture on the cover of his book, depict a city more dense, energetic and vibrant than today's version. One could easily have mistaken some of these shots for Manhattan. </P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.denverpost.com/ci_7113767?source=rss"><P>Vallier tells me that it's depressing to see all the beautiful structures that have fallen to fires and urban renewal projects. But for the most part, we're lucky. </P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;"> </td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/546E6B5F-9721-4B68-9027-EE6C87E1CF7C/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
