Preserving Constitution Hall (Or: Adventures in Denverland)

The site of Constitution Hall. Only a plaque marks the spot today.

On Changing Denver this month, we have an interview with local historian Amy Zimmer about her new book Lost Denver and her experiences on the Landmark Preservation Commission. She outlines Denver’s fraught relationship with its own past and explains our official process for preserving historic landmarks.

Memory, loss, the value of seeing your past around you: It can be a challenge to take these issues on without slipping down a rabbit hole. You have been warned.

Amy Zimmer’s book is available at many of Denver’s independent booksellers.


 

Our theme song is “Minnow” by Felix Fast4ward. You can find more of his music here.

The other song used in this episode is called “Make it Weird,” and it was provided to us by Morlox. You can find more music by Morlox on Bandcamp and learn more on the Morlox Facebook page.
