The Fed in Denver

Walked from California and 17th to Market and 17th today. Wonder where that federal looking building was? Also wonder about the Federal Reserve building. Here's what the website says about its history:

"The Denver Branch officially opened its doors on January 14, 1918. The first building to house the Denver Branch was located just down the street at 111 17th Street, before moving in 1968 to its current location at 1020 16th Street."

The original building must have been in the upper area of downtown where Norred would not have photographed. Always thought the current one looked intimidating; like it had teeth that would chomp down on you if you approached it without consent. Fortress-like, but short, compared to the giants around it.

Getting stuck on individual buildings now...
