I walked past Bosworth House the other day, and it is looking good, as seen in the above photograph. However, it also looks pretty deserted. It is located around the block from Denver's Tattered Cover Bookstore, where I used to work as the bookkeeper. At that time, it was occupied by the Assistance League of Denver, which bought and restored it in the 1960s and used it as their headquarters. It was built in 1889 and was the home of a wealthy widow named Leona Bosworth. I toured it a few years ago during Open Doors Denver (an annual event that allows visitors into many public and private structures throughout the city), and was quite impressed. The Assistance League sold the place for $1.75 million in 2017, and the company that bought it planned to rent out offices there. However, thanks to the pandemic, office space is not in demand these days, and so empty (I think) it stands. A pity.
