Night presses close over Denver’s Capitol Hill as the lighted Archer Tower sign marks the meeting point at 901 Sherman Street. Under sodium lamps and the low hum of the city, a small group departs on a two‑hour, 1.7‑mile walk through streets where brick façades and carved stone seem to watch the passing. The tour threads past Gothic turrets, Art Deco rowhouses and the looming profiles of mansions once owned by Denver’s elite.
