Anne Evans
Anne Evans played a major role in helping develop many of the institutions that transformed Denver into a viable modern city. Among them are the Denver Art Museum, the Denver Public Library, the restoration of the Central City Opera House, and the development of the Central City Summer Opera Festival. All of these cultural jewels required tireless and ingenious fundraising.
Anne Evans is also largely responsible for less well known endeavors. She organized hundreds of volunteers to get the bond issue passed which allowed the land to be purchased for the City and County Building. She was pivotal in various family business pursuits such as the Evans Investment Company, which has owned and managed major parcels of prime Denver real estate. She created viable market and business opportunities for the native weavers, potters, and artisans of the Southwest.
Anne Evans was truly a business woman of her time whose many contributions helped define Denver as the business and cultural center it is today.
