Collection: Blair-Caldwell African American Research Library
Description: For much of Denver’s history, mortgage lending and real estate redlining practices prevented many people of color from investing in a home and building intergenerational wealth. The Dearfield Fund with Gary Community Ventures aims to right this injustice by offering first-time Black homebuyers in the Denver metro area up to $40,000 in downpayment assistance. This article from Denver’s CBS affiliate announces the program.

Description: Larimer Square, Denver’s first designated historic district, is also the oldest existing commercial block in the city. Located in Denver’s downtown on Larimer Street between 14th and 15th streets, the block features Victorian-style buildings holding a variety of national and small local businesses. In 2018, a previous owner investigated renovations that would include building attached glass high-rises on the backs of the historic buildings. Following significant public feedback, he opted instead to sell to commercial real estate investment firm Asana Partners in 2020. Asana’s management and leasing practices, paired with the COVID-19 pandemic, have caused many longstanding small business tenants to leave Larimer Square. This article investigates the loss of locally-based tenants, and questions what the future of the block will look like.
