The neighborhood about a five minute drive from downtown Denver, despised all three of them. And the city's Landmark Preservation Commission agreed with the neighborhood group, unanimously rejecting the proposal by Fentress, a firm that designed the Colorado Convention Center and the Denver International Airport, as well as about 15 historic buildings locally.
The plan is out-of-scale and inappropriate for the neighborhood, citizens argued, and the commission agreed.
The Fentress plan calls for demolishing one "contributing" building.
Barbara Scott, president of the Baker Historic Neighborhood Association, says that neighbors will welcome a development that better fits the neighborhood.
The commission's rejection doesn't preclude the architectural firm presenting a different proposal.
