In the 1950s the city commissioned the architectural firm Fisher & Fisher and designer Burnham Hoyt to build a new Central Library to be located on Broadway and West 14th Avenue.[4] The property had previously been an auto dealership for the Ford Model T, Model A, and Model B before being condemned by the City in 1953.[5] The Fisher/Hoyt Central Library in the city's Golden Triangle opened in 1955 and was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1990.[6] In the 1990s Denver voters approved a $91.6 million bond issue to add onto the Fisher/Hoyt building; the new 540,000-square-foot (50,000 m2) structure, designed by architect Michael Graves and the Denver firm of Klipp Colussy Jenks DuBois, opened in 1995."
