The Bluebird Theater, with its distinctive neon sign, was originally opened on September 11, 1915 as the Thompson Theater. The owner, John Thompson, also owned and operated the Ogden Theater (1917) at 935 East Colfax Avenue. Thompson sold his theaters in 1920, and the Thompson Theater became the Bluebird Theater in 1922. Sometime before 1925, the Bluebird came under the control of Harry Huffman (who also ran the Bide-A-Wee Theater at 1036 West Colfax Avenue and later built the Aladdin Theater at 2010 East Colfax Avenue), who ran it as a movie house in the 1930s. The Bluebird has since been revived as a stage for live bands - 3317 E. Colfax Avenue, Denver, CO. 80206.

Long before it became a venerable institution for live music, The Fillmore Auditorium was also once home to the Fritchle Automobile & Battery Co.
