Notes: The Denver Dry Goods Company is significant because it was one of Denver's major pioneer retail stores and is, in fact, the oldest dry goods establishment in Denver to remain in its original location. The company's forerunner, the McNamara Dry Goods Company, played an important role in the development of the 16th Street business district. Today, the building features retail space on the first floor with apartments above.
