This was an interesting stop, not because I was impressed with the flat but because my tour mates were all amazed by it. It was a classic 1950s flat. We have many homes in Denver with this type of design style which I saw when I was looking to buy a house. In addition the furniture and decorations were standard 1950s garage sale fare. However everyone seemed to be curious about it and loved seeing it. So if you've never seen 1950s decor go for it.
The history behind these flats is that they were built for the town after WWII to house the homeless. They were very upscale because they had indoor plumbing and a large percentage (did the guide say 80%?) of the population did not have an indoor bathroom prior to the war.
