In the late 1880s, Denver Children’s Home (originally established as Denver Orphans Home in 1881) provided lodgings to orphaned children. A fire in 1888 killed several children in the attic/third floor of the original building. In 1902, the Home moved to its current location at 1501 Albion Street (at Colfax Avenue). Today, the facility still provides youth services, counseling, and housing to youth. Apparitions of children playing and ethereal voices of crying and whimpering are regular phenomena. Also, an apparition of a female in a wedding gown is regularly seen floating down the third floor steps and across the 50 ft. hallway.
The crossroads where the paranormal and history meet.
