was first completed in 1959. This building is still standing, of course!
Go here to see a 1959 ad featuring the same photo.

This photo is looking out the Sheraton windows at their own reflection in the glass walls
across the street.
Again, thank you readers, thanks to the Doors Open Denver judges and thanks to the
