Landmark designation: The Robinson House advances to City Council |
|
In March 2021, the property owners located at 3435 Albion St. submitted for a Certificate of Demolition Eligibility. Landmark staff found the structure had potential for designation and provided public notice and posted signage on the property. Through a facilitated stakeholder consultation process, a preservation-minded buyer was found for the Robinson House. The new owner is proposing to rezone the site, divide the parcel, and designate the structure.
Named after its first owner Jay A. Robinson, 3435 Albion St. is significant for its direct association with the historical development of the city. It is one of the oldest extant houses in Park Hill, is an excellent example of the Queen Anne style of architecture, and it promotes an understanding and appreciation of the urban environment through its physical characteristics and rarity.

About Landmark Preservation |
|
Landmark preservation is an important function of Denver Community Planning and Development. Denver City Council enacted the Denver Landmark Ordinance in 1967 to foster the protection, enhancement, perpetuation and use of structures and districts of historical, architectural, geographic and/or cultural significance.
Staff in our Landmark Preservation office and two landmark commissions carry out that mission through design review, historic surveys and landmark designations. Staff also assists owners of historic properties by providing guidance and resources for preserving, maintaining and rehabilitating historic buildings and properties.
