Street view looking east of the Old Highlands Business District, located in Denver, Colorado. Downtown Denver can be seen in the background. The Old Highland Business District is comprised of six late 19th century commercial buildings, all that is left of a once thriving business area. Although the buildings are not outstanding architecturally, they are good examples of commercial architecture from the period and are nicely related to one another. This business district developed over a short period of time, from 1885 to 1890, and contained a convenient mix of stores and offices. Highland was one of the three original areas, clustered around the confluence of Cherry Creek and the South Platte River, which joined to become the City of Denver.
