Auraria 9th Street Historic District, Historic district in Denver, Colorado.

Auraria 9th Street Historic District covers both sides of one block of 9th Street, from Curtis Street to Champa Street, on the Auraria Campus in Denver. Its 33 contributing buildings are mainly modest Victorian-style houses built between 1873 and 1905. The street itself has been removed and replaced by a greenway.

This area emerged during the Colorado Gold Rush in the mid-1800s when miners, traders, and settlers established a new community near the South Platte River. The buildings constructed afterward documented the rapid growth and consolidation of the settlement during those founding decades.

The district preserves one block of 9th Street between Curtis and Champa, where modest Victorian-style houses were built from 1873 to 1905. The street itself was later removed and replaced by a greenway, so the houses now face a pedestrian path through the Auraria Campus rather than a roadway.

The district covers both sides of a single block of 9th Street, between Curtis Street and Champa Street, on the Auraria Campus in Denver. The street itself no longer exists: it was removed and replaced by a greenway, so the block is crossed on foot rather than by car. Look for the row of modest Victorian-era houses along that greenway.

The 9th Street area was once a regular street before being converted into a landscaped pedestrian greenway that improved campus connectivity. This transformation demonstrates how historic areas can be redesigned to serve modern needs while preserving the original buildings themselves.
