Historic Denver- Poets Row Living
Poets Row is the stretch of Sherman Street between 10th and 11th Avenue in Denver. This is a unique row of six apartment buildings named after famous authors and poets. Each building has an individual feel and they are each as different as the authors and poets they were named after. These buildings are also walking distance from some great restaurants and some happening night life.
The Emily Dickinson building sits at 1015 Sherman Street and was built in 1956. This is the newest of the six. This building offers up 30 cozy apartments. Emily Dickenson wrote, “To live is so startling, it leaves but little room for other occupations.” I think she would be happy with the relaxed living accommodations the building bearing her name provides.
The next three buildings went up in 1938.
The Mark Twain is at 1035 Sherman Street. Mark Twain once said, “The man with a new idea is a crank until the idea succeeds”. So come find some inspiration in one of the 12 studios, or in one of the 15 one bedroom apartments this retro building has to offer.
The Nathaniel Hawthorne is at 1045 Sherman Street. As he said, “Time flies over us but leaves its shadow behind,” so waste no time and snag one of the 9 large studios, or one of the 19 one bedrooms this vintage building holds.
The Eugene Field at 1055 Sherman Street houses 25 unique one bedroom apartments. Eugene Field once said, “The biggest fish he ever caught were those that got away”. Take some advice from Eugene and don’t let a chance to live in a piece of history slip away.
The next two buildings were built in 1933.
The Robert Frost at 1001 Sherman Street is not lacking in detail on the corner of Poets Row. This large building offers 30 studio apartments, 3 one bedroom apartments, and 1 highly sought after two bedroom apartment. Frost once said, “Happiness makes up in height for what it lacks in length”. So come get happy and check out what this building has to offer.
The Louisa May Alcott at 1025 Sherman Street draws you in with the wrought iron detail on the front of the building. She once wrote, “I’m not afraid of storms, for I am learning to sail my ship”. Come feel her strength in one of the 36 studios or one of the 4 one bedrooms found here.
Although not recognized by the historical society, across the street sits three more buildings I must include. Check out The Robert Browning, The Thomas Carlyle, and the James Russell Lowell, for more historic living options.
