Historic Denver just announced the recipients of its annual awards for projects and people preserving key historic buildings in Denver. This year's preservation project award recipients include buildings that are not only historic but provide affordable housing, advanced sustainability and have a presence that is distinctively Denver.

Among the recipients are The Colburn Hotel Apartments, which has served as low-income housing for decades, in particular serving residents who have experienced homelessness; The Slate Hotel, a Denver landmark and the original 1916 Emily Griffith Opportunity School building that was reimagined by Stonebridge Companies; Pancratia Hall, an affordable housing facility; the newly-restored Denver Art Museum, Martin Building; and Benzina, a former muffler shop turned Italian restaurant.
