2026 Historic Zang Mansion Tour with Denver Archit 2026 Historic Zang Mansion Tour
with Denver Architecture Foundation
March 11 & March 18

Join us for a special tour of the historic Zang Mansion, with just 8 tickets available for each date of the tour. 

The 38-room neoclassical revival mansion, designed by Denver architect Frederick Carl Eberley, was constructed from 1902 to 1904. Adolph J. Zang and his wife Minnie raised their family in the home and lived there for 50 years. Zang was the owner and president of the Zang Brewing Company, and made a name for himself as one of Denver’s ten millionaires in the late 1800s. Zang Mansion is designated as a Denver Landmark and a Colorado Landmark, is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, and currently serves as a professional office.

Very limited tickets for this special tour go on sale to DAF members at 4 p.m. on February 18, and to the general public (pending availability) at 4 p.m on February 25.

This coming week’s members-only tour of the Denver This coming week’s members-only tour of the Denver Mint is sold out and we are very much looking forward to it. Completed in 1904, the Denver Mint was designed by New York firm Tracy, Swartwout, and Litchfield under Supervising Architect James Knox Taylor for the U.S. Treasury Department. It was built in a Second Renaissance Revival style inspired by Florence’s Palazzo Medici Riccardi. 

Congress established what became the Denver Mint in 1862, during the Gold Rush, which opened as an assay office in 1863 to melt and test gold (rather than mint coins). In the 1890s, Congress authorized a purpose-built mint, and the current Italian Renaissance–style building on West Colfax Avenue began striking coins in 1906. Since then, the Denver Mint has produced billions of coins for circulation and remains one of the nation’s most important mint facilities, still operating today.

The Architecture, Artifacts, and Meaning of Temple The Architecture, Artifacts, and Meaning of Temple Emanuel
with Denver Architecture Foundation
Sunday, February 22

Temple Emanuel is a remarkable mid-century synagogue and the largest and oldest in the Rocky Mountain region. The building was designed by Percival Goodman, a leading modernist architect known for his innovative synagogue designs. The coursed red Lyons sandstone, tall, recessed window bays, and vibrant stained glass at Temple Emanuel create a powerful interplay of light, texture, and structure that speaks to both spiritual purpose and architectural modernism This tour will be led by architect extraordinaire Alan Golin Gass. (Fun fact: Alan and his wife Sally were the first couple to be married at Temple Emanuel’s Grape Street location!)
