Ghost Building

The Ghost Building is a structure in Denver where the outer wall of a once-adjacent building left imprints, creating a shadowy outline. The surface clearly shows the windows, doors, and floor levels of the demolished neighboring structure.

The building was constructed during Denver's growth period and later partially demolished, leaving its impression on the neighboring structure. This marking reflects the rapid changes that reshaped Denver throughout the 20th century.

The faded wall patterns show where another building once stood against it, telling the story of the changing city. Many people stop to photograph the imprints of the vanished rooms and imagine what the interior spaces looked like.

The structure sits in a mixed urban neighborhood and is easily accessible on foot. Visitors should bring a camera and look for the best lighting in early morning or late afternoon hours.

The imprints reveal not only windows and doors but also the height of floor levels and even staircase details of the vanished building. This natural negative is rare and offers an unexpected glimpse into the hidden life of a structure.
