In center are the new 22 floor, 884-room Denver Hilton Hotel, and Public Service Co. Buildings. Immediately below the Hilton is the gold-domed Colorado State Capitol Building, flanked by state office and service buildings. Tallest buildings at right center are the Wester Federal Savings and Loan Association; Denver Club; Denver First National Bank and Denver U.S. National Bank Buildings. Sandwiched between the latter two is the new, 288-room addition to the Brown Palace Hotel. [Denver was the site of the annual meeting of the Society of American Foresters, held 27-30 September 1964.
