Auraria campus in Denver, Colorado, shares a library and other facilities among three colleges: Denver Area Community College, University of Colorado Denver and Metropolitan State University of Denver. Here's a little history of the place before it became the campus in 1976.
Larimer Square is one of Denver's first streets. It's also the city's first historic district, thanks to Dana Crawford and her preservation project in the 1960s. The Old-West buildings have been preserved and now serve as home to wonderful restaurants, bars and other venues just a few blocks from Union Station in Lower Downtown (LoDo) Denver.
