Denver Press Club

The Denver Press Club building was built by Francis Kirchof for approximately $50,000, paid mostly with the sale of Who's Who in the Rockies.

In 1945, artist Herndon Davis painted a wall-size mural of Denver journalists in the club's basement poker room.

The Society of Professional Journalists deemed it as a "significant historical place in journalism" in 2008.

Today, the club's more than 400 members represent print and broadcast media, advertising and public relations, and an assortment of other professions.

The roster has included Pulitzer Prize-winning journalists, cartoonists, and other notables, including Damon Runyon, Eugene Field, Gene Fowler, Frederick Gilmer Bonfils, Palmer Hoyt, Lowell Thomas, Lee Taylor Casey, Paul Conrad, Pat Oliphant, Thomas Hornsby Ferril, Carl Akers, Starr Yelland, Stormy Rottman, Lou Kilzer, Greg Lopez, Bob Palmer, Gene Amole, Sam Lusky, Rob Scoggins Jr., and Don Kinney.
