Civic Center Park in Denver Named 2011 Masonry Project of the Year
Denver’s Civic Center Park was honored in December as Masonry Construction magazine’s Masonry Construction Project of 2011. Approved by Denver voters in 2007, the $9.5 million in Better Denver Bond funding enabled restoration of Civic Center’s historic Greek Theater, Voorhies Memorial, balustrade wall and Broadway Terrace.
Because of the hard work of masonry contractor Building Restoration Specialties (BRS) and many others, Civic Center Park was removed from Colorado Preservation Inc.’s Endangered Places list in 2011, solidifying the park’s status as an enduring icon of Denver history.
