The Art Deco era was not a time of building boom in Denver, so we have few examples. One of those few is the beautiful sign & marquee for the Mayan Theater at 110 Broadway. The brick work and tile facing on the building also have some Deco detail that shows up only poorly here. I like this view of the sign peeking around the corner, for some reason, though -- shot from a corner table at the Hornet, 1st & Broadway.

The Cruise Room was a speakeasy during Prohibition and it remains a fine place to quaff a cocktail. My phonecam doesn't really do justice to the dimly lit interior, but I like the grain it gets. The color in the official photo at that link is nowhere near correct.
