“This year, as we continue to encourage walkability as part of the event, Doors Open Denver is excited to feature a number of unique sites throughout the La Alma-Lincoln Park neighborhood,” says Pauline Herrera Serianni, executive director of the Denver Architecture Foundation.
“We invite the community and visitors to explore that area and other neighborhoods from the inside out through our free open sites, arts and culture activities and ticketed Insider Tours.”
