After 1914 it served as a restaurant and a private club.It is a four-story building, about 50 by 100 feet (15 m × 30 m) in plan, Late Victorian in style. The building's architect is unknown, although it was "planned" by Denver architect F.E. Edbrooke, who later designed the Brown Palace Hotel built in 1892, just across the street.Its basement steam room was once connected by rail tunnel to the Brown Palace Hotel, which could deliver coal and allow hidden passage, although by 1976 the passageway had been sealed off.It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1977 as "Brinker Collegiate Institute". And, as "Navarre Building", it was designated Denver Landmark #470 in 1971. It is also included in the Downtown Denver Historic District designated by the City of Denver in 2000.
