As the Urban Renewal wrecking ball erased the city's old skin and displaced some residents familiar with it, a new facade attracted Americans from far and wide in search of a Rocky Mountain way of life. Servicemen returning from the war came to build new businesses, and the next generation came just for the experience. The city could still take pride in the Brown Palace Hotel, the Daniels \u0026amp; Fisher Tower, the gold-domed State Capitol, and other emblems of its gold rush past, but its confidence in the future would give rise to ten new skyscrapers in one decade alone.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHow Denver reinvented itself and came to have the appearance it displays today is a subject of more than passing interest.
