Designated a Historic District in 1988, this redbrick Victorian neighborhood had fallen on hard times until a massive revitalization project reclaimed the 26 block area.

On the Northern edge of LoDo is the sparkling brick-edificed Coors Field -- home to Major League Baseball's Colorado Rockies, and one of the newest professional sports stadiums in the country.
