Ray Apartment Buildings

Denver County

The 1906 Ray Apartment Buildings are good local examples of the Neoclassical Revival style and are the finest surviving examples of work by designer and master builder Daniel Wells Wood. They were built early in the era of luxury apartment construction in Denver which began circa 1900.

Located in Denver’s prestigious Park Avenue Addition in North Capitol Hill, the apartments attracted prominent Denver citizens as tenants.  The buildings have been in continuous use as multiple dwellings.  A Colorado designer and builder from 1891 to 1945, Wood practiced primarily in Denver and Cripple Creek, and he is mentioned as the builder of several Colorado school buildings and courthouses.
