Before the shopping center
The shopping center is a triumph of mined land reclamation. In the 1920's Temple Buell bought a large parcel of land at First Avenue and University Boulevard. It was nothing but a weed-filled area. [2] Before the shopping center, sand was mined from a large pit. After it was mined out, the city used the pit as a sanitary landfill in the 1940s. After the pit was filled with trash, the first Cherry Creek shopping center was built over the dump.[3] It was designed in 1949 by Temple Hoyne Buell and is still in use, located immediately west of the larger mall facility extension renovated in 1990.[4][5] The former location of Bed Bath & Beyond was originally the Cherry Creek location of The Denver Dry Goods Company/May-Daniels & Fisher until 1990.[6]
