The Blu Ett


Every morning I drive up University Boulevard to the local Denver bookstore where I work as the bookkeeper, and pass the apartment seen in the above photograph.  It is called The BluEtt, and looking it while waiting at the stoplight, I often wondered why.  I looked the place up on the internet, and it is spelled Bluette on their web page, which I personally feel is much different than The Blue Ett, which reminds me a lot of The Blue Angel, a 1930 movie starring Marlene Dietrich.  What I want to know is whether this building is from that same era, and is Marlene Dietrich the super?

  1. This building was built early turn of the century (pipes were marked 1917). The inside lobby reminded me of the hotel California. Haven’t been inside since about 2005, but it was absolutely stunning inside.
