Dana Crawford was described in a 1990 Denver
Post article as both an historic preservationist and a developer.
Larimer Square in downtown Denver stands as one of her premier
accomplishments, a wedding of preservation and development in lower
downtown (LoDo). Other projects include Union Station, various
restaurants, loft and office complexes, the Ice House, Coors Field,
and the renovated Oxford Hotel. Her research on lower downtown
properties and on development has thrust her to the forefront as
a speaker and consultant to over 50 cities on housing in historic
buildings and on mixed-use development. As a civic and business
leader for over three decades, she has received many awards and
much acclaim. A group of historic preservation organizations established
the Dana Crawford Award for Outstanding Achievement in Historic
Preservation. Crawford is a founding member of Historic Denver,
Inc., as well as Lower Downtown District, Inc. |
