Park Lane Hotel
The Park Lane Hotel at 450 S. Marion, built 1928 at the north end of
Washington Park (demo’d 1966).
Quite a hotel, you could see big bands or comedians (like Henny Youngman)
in the Top of The Park Lounge, but they also had acts in the Sky View Room,
the Copper Lounge and the Poolside Cafe. Local lounge favorites the
Leigh Barron Trio broadcast nightly from here on KOA from 1961-63.

DeVille Motel
The DeVille Motel on Colfax at Galapago. First the original architectural illustration…
Then the final result, with a different design for the sign. This is now just an empty shell
between the Denver Diner and the new courthouse, destined to be torn down soon, I am sure.
