Exterior photograph of the Navarre Building, before renovation, located in Denver, Colorado. The four-story, brick Victorian structure, was built in 1880 and served as the permanent edifice of the Brinker Collegiate Institute until 1880. From 1889 until 1904, the property was remodeled and opened first as the Richelieu Hotel and then the Navarre. In 1893, owner Owen LeFevre had an underground rail system built to the Brown Palace Hotel across the street which accommodated unseen passage as well as coal delivery. Beginning in 1914, the Navarre served as a private club or restaurant.
