Eleventh Avenue Hotel
Denver County
The Italian Renaissance Revival-style Eleventh Avenue Hotel, erected in 1903 as a single room occupancy hotel, provided housing for hundreds of Denver’s working-class citizens for over seventy years.
Built for John A. Porter, a prominent Colorado mining entrepreneur, railroad, and real estate developer, the hotel is significant for its association with the flood of working class men and women that flocked to Denver in the early twentieth-century and sparked the construction of several a single room occupancy hotels throughout the city. The three-story brick building is also a fine example of the work of master architect Frederick Janius Sterner.
