Denver is changing fast, as people are discovering as they start going out and about in the city again. I drive down Colfax all the time, writes one reader. Noticed as they were taking apart the old PT sign..there was an older one under it. All I could see was Famous Chef. Could not find anything on this old restaurant. Can you help?
Famous Chef turned into the infamous PT s All Nude.
Sure can, thanks to Michael Roberts, who shared the story just a few months ago as the city moved forward with plans to turn the property at 8315 East Colfax Avenue, which once hosted PT s All Nude II, into a $15 million, 82-unit affordable-housing complex.
On March 1, Denver City Council unanimously approved the expenditure of $15 million to build an 82-unit affordable-housing complex at 8315 East Colfax Avenue, on a lot that most recently was home to PT’s All Nude II, a strip club.
The project will mark yet another chapter in the fascinating history of the address, which has gone through major changes since the mid-1900s, when the building housed one of the most beloved restaurants of the era. How the site went from a family favorite to the location of a notorious 2015 murder that was among the incidents used as a rationale to shutter PT s All Nude II once and for all is a very Denver story one that all involved hope is taking a happier turn.
