Inscription.
The D&F Tower at the corner of 16th and Arapahoe Streets is all that remains of the Daniels & Fisher department store that stood on this block.

After its construction in 1911, the D&F Tower was for many years the tallest building in Denver. Modeled after the Campanile in St. Mark's Square in Venice, Italy, it continues to stand as a Denver landmark.

Skyline Park is a three-block long urban space built as the centerpiece of the Skyline Urban Renewal Project.

Erected by Walk of Fame International. (Marker Number 5w.)
