In the 1940s, clothing patterns were offered for sale through The Denver Post. For 16 to 20 cents they could be purchased from our Pattern Department. Here’s a sampling of some vintage apron and dress styles that were available.
In this example, a crocheted hostess apron with rose filet for someone who loves to entertain, from Aug. 6, 1945.
These retro fashions are so much fun that it’s a shame we don’t still have the patterns. But they’re out of stock, so please don’t send your money.

If you had pink or blue hair in 1982, you might also have worn it in a mohawk.
Now, if your high school has blue as one if its colors, go ahead, rah-rah school booster, and plaster your locks with streaks of cobalt. It won’t signal rebellion, but it might make you fit in more seamlessly with the cheerleading crowd.
The hair-gone-technicolor style from the ’80s is back, 30 years later — tamer, less DIY and more salon, and secure in the mainstream.

The house designed by architect Charles Deaton and made famous by Woody Allen’s 1973 film “Sleeper” has been listed as one of America’s ugliest in an article on Forbes.com which notes that “architectural beauty may be in the eye of the beholder, but some mansions are just plain ugly.”
Officially named “Sculptured House,” the mansion boasts 7,700 square feet of living space, five bedrooms and baths, a top level master suite, a state-of-the-art kitchen, and an office with a wet bar and deck.
We’ve posted 62 historical offbeat photographs from yesteryear that are just bizarre or just slightly ahead of their time. You be the judge.

Some homeowners prefer the sprawl of suburban McMansions. Others opt for cozy old bungalows near city centers.
Not too many opt for a 133-square-foot home — you read that correctly — that on first glance looks not much larger than a Great Dane’s doghouse.
But Christopher Smith and Merete Mueller did just that. The Boulder couple built a 7-by-19-foot wooden house whose foundation is a two-axle trailer bed. Last week, they towed it to a 5-acre patch of isolated hillside 20 minutes outside this town, which sits on South Park’s eastern edge.
Could you live in (or share) a space this small?
The Richthofen Castle, an iconic relic of Denver history, is under contract for sale.
If the deal closes, it will mark the end of 14 years of on-and-off-again efforts to sell the 35-room estate that was built by the uncle of Baron Manfred von Richthofen, better known as the Red Baron flying ace of World War I.
Baron Walter von Richthofen, a Prussian immigrant turned Colorado mining baron, conceived the idea for the limestone castle in the 1870s and finished it in 1887.
