SteelBridge Lofts

The History behind SteelBridge:

Both buildings, shown above, were designed by Fisher and Fisher. The building on the left was designed for Weicker Moving and Storage. The building on the left was associated with Charles Boettcher, the original owner. He was one of the members of Denver's power structure in the early l900's. Boettcher came to Colorado from Germany in 1869 and made a fortune in Leadville dealing in hardware, concrete, utilities and mining. When he moved to Denver in 1890, Boettcher invested in city real estate and the Tramway Company. He was one of the organizers of the Great Western Sugar Company.

The Great Western Sugar used the building as a transfer station for its Railway Company (which is still in existence today). The building was later bought by Weicker Transfer and Storage Company, shown above after the two building were combined, Weicker was the city's largest such firms for many years. For the past 20 years the building was the home of Karman Inc. The building functioned as a bonded warehouse with a design studio for Roper Apparel & Footware. (Their western clothing company) on the second floor.

The building's architects were the prominent Denver firm of Fisher and Fisher. William Ellsworth Fisher and Arthur Addison Fisher, were Canadian born brothers who designed some of Denver's finest residences. William is credited with the house design found in many Denver neighborhoods known as "The Bride's Delight", a gambrel roofed, Dutch Colonial Revival house. The firm was known as Romanesque specialists, although they designed in many other styles. Among their prominent buildings are South High School, Colorado National Bank, Colonnade in Civic Center, the A.C. Foster Building, the Weicker Warehouse on East Colfax and Presbyterian Hospital. William Fisher was influential in the design of the Denver County Club and residential areas.
