DENVER — Plans are underway to redevelop the historic Evans School building in Denver's Golden Triangle neighborhood.The building opened in 1904 and served as a school for nearly 70 years. In 1980, the building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places and was designated as a Denver local landmark in 2001.
Plans also call for refurbishing the 5,500 square-foot auditorium so it can host private and community events and upgrading the building’s infrastructure. The building currently houses more than 50 artists who pay below-market rent for the space. Moe Gram, a visual arts artist, has been a tenant in the building for the past year and a half.Gram said while the artists knew their leases were short-term, they were able to stay longer.
“I really enjoyed the community here and I would really like to see artists be able to stay in the space at a reasonable rate,” said Rochelle Johnston, another artist and tenant.
