This project was completed in under a year, in time to open on New Year’s Eve. The Whiskey Row project is full of rich history. The original limestone portion of the building dates back to the late 1800s when it served as a brothel operated under two different madams.

 At this time, it was called the House of Mirrors, and behind some of the mirrors in the building were tunnel ways that led to opium dens and, years later, speakeasies during the prohibition era. 

Later in its life, the House of Mirrors became a Buddhist church until the early 1970s. 

Whiskey Row’s limestone and red brick portions are considered historic structures by the City of Denver’s Lower Downtown Design Review Commission, so they had to be incorporated into the current structure. Surgical-style demolition was required to maintain the integrity of the historical landmark.
