Downtown Boulder Historic District

Downtown Boulder Historic District Review

The late-19th- and early-20th-century commercial structures of the Downtown Boulder Historic District once housed mercantile stores and saloons. The period architecture—including Queen Anne, Italianate, and Romanesque styles in stone or brick—has been preserved, but stores inside cater to modern tastes, with fair-trade coffees and Tibetan prayer flags. The area is bounded by the south side of Spruce Street between 10th and 16th streets, Pearl Street between 9th and 16th streets, and the north side of Walnut Street between Broadway and 9th Street.
