The Denver Post’s landmark sign atop a sleek 11-story building near Civic Center Park came down this week, bringing the newspaper’s 134-year presence in downtown to an end.

The paper had moved its newsroom and most other operations to its printing plant in Adams County in 2017. The former Post building at 101 W. Colfax Ave. was originally built in 2006 and held in lease by the paper.

The City and County of Denver bought it from investors in 2024. On June 11, the city and Post owner DP Media Network LLC announced a $13.5 million settlement for back rent payments and for removal of the sign.

The Post’s name had been a presence in downtown since it first published in 1892 as The Evening Post from offices on Curtis Street.

In later years, the paper operated from 14th and Champa streets, and in 1950 moved to a block-long building at 15th Street and California. That building housed its news, advertising and print operations until 1989, when the paper moved its offices and newsroom to Civic Center Plaza, a tower at 1560 Broadway at the foot of the 16th Street Mall.

The old site on 15th gave way to downtown’s Hyatt Regency Denver.
