The Adams Hotel stood at:

15th Street & Court Place (Court Pl.)
Denver, Colorado

Period directories (early 1900s–1920s) consistently list it at the corner of 15th and Court Place, just a block off Champa and near the early downtown commercial district.

It was located in what is today Denver’s central business district, near where modern office towers now stand.

Historical Background

• Built in the late 19th century (1880s) during Denver’s post-silver-boom expansion.

• Advertised as a respectable mid-to-upper tier business hotel.

• By the 1910s–1920s it was a well-established downtown property.

• The hotel was eventually demolished during mid-20th-century redevelopment of downtown Denver.

This substantial bound ledger from the historic Adams Hotel of Denver, Colorado measures approximately 10.25 x 16 inches and is 1 inch thick, making it an impressive, oversized and heavy business record volume from 1926.
