Genius Loci: Baker neighborhood,Denver, CO
By: Kim Owens
I’ve always dreamed of visiting an old, vacant house and discovering something magical.
Then it happened.
While house hunting, I visited a 1800s house in Denver’s Baker ‘hood and below the vintage linoleum were newspapers dating back to 1925. There was Denver’s history preserved. It was fascinating to see an ad for the new Charlie Chaplin movie; that a cab driver was resisting the fad of new fangled automobiles. I couldn’t resist taking a piece.
Don’t tell anyone.
Curator's note: This is part of extending the Looking for Loci exhibit. We want to know... have you ever stolen anything at an open house?
