The Denver Gas & Electric Building, also known as the Public Service Building, the Insurance Exchange Building,[5] and IX-West (Internet Exchange, Denver),[6] is a building located in the downtown district of Denver, Colorado. Designed by architect Harry W. J. Edbrooke for the Denver Gas & Electric Company, the 10 story building was completed in 1910. One of its most striking features is the use of 13,000 electric light bulbs decorating its façade.[7]
In 1978, the building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places.[8]
