"The red brick, three-story commercial building rises from a rusticated stone foundation and features a three-bay, cast-iron storefront. The 1891 building typifies late 19th century Commercial Style architecture. The block is the work of architect Richard Phillips, with construction accomplished by Hallack and Howard builders. Hamburger formed half of the partnership of Hamburger & Eckert, a brewers’ and bottlers’ supply firm. In 1935, the residential hotel portion of the building reopened as the Paris Hotel, named for Paris Hargis, the proprietor." (from (visit link) )

"Paris Lofts is located at Arapahoe & 21st Streets, close enough to downtown Denver to walk to any location, but away from the hustle of central Lodo. Just a few blocks from Coors Field, it's also close to an array of Denver restaurants, pubs, museums, and cultural performances.

This elegant 3-story historic building was built in 1891 and features a stone foundation and a three-bay, cast-iron storefront. It is typical of late 19th century commercial style architecture, and is the work of Richard Phillips, with construction accomplished by Hallack and Howard builders.

In 1935, the residential hotel portion of the building reopened as the Paris Hotel, named for Paris Hargis, the proprietor.

Renovated in 2006, the building is one of the latest historic conversions in downtown Denver and located in an area still undergoing a renaissance, like Lodo in the early 1990s. It features some of the more unique and affordable residential lofts found anywhere in Downtown Denver. Features include:

* Contemporary interior finishes
* Hardwood Floors, Granite Counters and Designer Cabinets
* Skyline City and Interior Courtyard Views
* Secure On-Site Parking"
