130-Year-Old Downtown Denver Structure Up for Sale

A handsome two-story industrial/retail property in downtown Denver, located on a historic block first seeing commercial construction before the Civil War, is up for sale with an asking price of $3.9 million.

Located at 1822 Blake Street, the structure, built in 1892, measures just over 11,000 square feet and is designated as a Class B building.

Listed by the Denver real estate office of Sanborn and Company, the property includes a spacious 4,300 square feet of retail space on the ground floor; basement space measuring just over 2,500 square feet; and second floor office space at around 4,100 square feet.

The structure is classic for its era, with high ceilings and exposed brick walls and timber beams.

Currently home to an upscale restaurant and bar called Sir Denver, the building formerly housed the Vesta Dipping Grill.

1822 Blake Street is located on a block rich with historic more than 150-year-old buildings that once housed mostly retail and manufacturing businesses, as well as several sporting houses, but have since been converted to restaurant and office space.

The Lower Downtown neighborhood is one of the oldest sections of Denver, tracing its roots to the 1850s.
