Building history:
The Sherman event Complex was built in 1906 by noted Danish ship and shipyard designers, Albert T. and William J. Baerrensen, who established a successful architecture firm in Denver between 1884 and 1928. They designed and constructed many of the city's buildings, some are still standing today. The Complex is considered to be the finest example of Moorish Revival architecture in the region. Its beautiful Byzantine-themed ballroom, a theater with pitch perfect acoustics, and a collection of Arts and Crafts-styled meeting rooms make it one of the most original historic interiors in Denver. It was also the headquarters for Colorado's Shriners, the Thirty-third Degree Masons, who belong to the Ancient Arabic Order of the Mystic Shrine. Until its sale to the Eulipians theater company in 1995, it was operated as a facility open only to it's members, Access to the interior was highly limited. It felt like walking in to a time capsule, a beautiful space.
