Delaware Street Tramway Power Sub-Station (Denver Mint Tramway Pressroom), Denver Colorada

Tweet

The Delaware Street Tramway Power Substation is significant for its association with the growth and development of Denver's tramway trolley system, a major transportation system during the first half of the 20^th century. This substation was instrumental in the conversion of the system from cable power to effective electrical power. It is more stylistically impressive and retains a greater degree of historic integrity than do the other remaining structures believed to have been substations. The building was later (1964?) converted to a coin stamping plant for the Denver Mint.
