Title	Forney Transportation Museum and South Platte River formerly known as the Denver Tramway Power Company powerhouse
Creator(s)	Noel, Thomas J. (Thomas Jacob)
Summary	View of the Recreational Equipment Inc. (REI) Building, 1416 Platte Street, in the Highland neighborhood of Denver, Colorado. Shows a refuse container with construction debris, fencing, and a sign in front of a red brick building. There are ladders on the building. The building has a parapet with a corbeled cornice, and three inset corbeled, blind arches delineated by pilasters. A corbeled belt course divides the elevation into two sections. The top portion has circular clerestory windows and a concrete panel that reads, "The Denver Tramway Power Co, 1901." The building was the former Denver Tramway Power Company powerhouse (1901; architects, Stearns and Rogers Co.) and home to the Forney Museum of Transportation. The building was restored and rehabilitated (1998-2000; architects- Mithun Partners, Seattle, WA) for use as a sporting goods store.
