Award-winning preservationist Dana Crawford initiated a concept of urban renewal that was one of the first of its kind in the United States. She pioneered the redevelopment of Denver's historic Larimer Square in the mid 1960s, creating a festival shopping area from the neglected and abandoned buildings of Denver's original main street. Her mask by Denver artist Marlene C. Feinholz reflects Larimer Square in her dog's sunglasses. Since the 1960s, Mrs. Crawford has redeveloped more than 800,000 square feet of historic property in the city of Denver. In addition to her many business accomplishments, Dana has given much of her time to both local and national concerns.
