It's quite possible. I think I read recently that the park across the street wasn't built until the 1920s, and I'll bet the City-County building would've been built at the same time. I think the Capitol has to be older, though if it's this building they must've expanded the size of the dome at some point.
The Capitol is bordered by Lincoln on its west, Colfax on it's north, 14th on its south, Grant on its east, though. If we're facing west, that major street would have to be Colfax, but there's no way that Colfax dead-ended like that.
Plus, the Capitol is on a pretty noticeable hill. Unless they excavated out a lot of space to put in the park, I don't see that hill anywhere.
Those angles keep making me think we're looking south from 18th Street, but that can't be right, because the mountains wouldn't be in the right place. We have to be looking directly west, but that street can't be Colfax.
Very confusing.
I'll look at the Capitol tomorrow, because it's right down the street from my office. That building looks kind of familiar, but there are also some differences, I think. It could be associated with construction of a larger dome, though.
There's no chance that the building is one of those big old high schools, is it? Denver North, or Denver West? |
