Olde Town Arvada

Olde Town Arvada is a historic district comprising 42 buildings that display Early Commercial, Queen Anne, and Modern architectural styles spread across roughly 15 acres. The structures line Ralston Road and Grandview Avenue, creating a mixed architectural landscape that spans from the early 1900s to later periods.

The district earned its place on the National Register of Historic Places in 1998, recognizing structures that reflect Arvada's growth during the early 1900s. This designation protected the buildings and acknowledged their role in documenting the city's evolution.

Art galleries, craft breweries, and performance spaces operate throughout the district, hosting regular community gatherings and creative events. These venues reflect how local artists and business owners have shaped the neighborhood into a destination for visitors seeking contemporary cultural experiences.

The RTD commuter G-Line train station provides direct access to the area, linking visitors to Denver International Airport and surrounding communities. This rail connection makes it convenient to arrive without a car and walk through the district at your own pace.

The district is home to Colorado's oldest Grange hall and the 1916 A.L. Davis Block building, which originally functioned as both a garage and car dealership. These two structures reveal Arvada's connection to farming heritage and early automotive commerce.
