Notes: The Burlington Hotel is significant for its association with the history of residence hotels and buildings combining furnished rooms and commercial enterprises in Denver during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The building is representative of the hotels which offered modest, working class accommodations and service oriented businesses (such as saloons, restaurants, drug stores, laundries, and barber shops) on the fringes of Denver's central business district. During its early years, the building catered to the needs of working class employees and their families, including many railroad workers.
