Regarding Denver Tramway Company Building.

In 1911, two architects retained by Evans William E. and Arthur A. Fisher designed this eight-story office tower for the Denver Tramway Company, with an adjacent three-story car barn. The design combined modern construction and a traditional Renaissance Revival-style edifice of glazed red brick and white terra cotta. Marble trim and brass fixtures graced the 42,000-square-foot tower. The first-floor lobby led to the offices of the Treasurer and Train Master, while physicians and a legal department occupied the second floor. The eighth floor was inhabited by the president, whose boardroom was lined with oak and marble.
The Denver Tramway trolleys were in service in Downtown Denver from the 1880s until June 3, 1950. Too elegant and sturdy to be demolished, the Tramway offices were soon used by the University of Colorado at Denver.
The Tramway Building was purchased in 1994 by the Tramway Hotel, LLC. With the assistance from a grant from the State Historical Fund, reconstruction began in 1997 to transform the building into a hotel. After a significant rehabilitation, the landmark reappeared in 1999 as the 110-room Hotel Teatro.
