Pearl Street , once Boulder’s commercial artery, “has become its cultural heart and soul,” said Richard Foy, one of the designers of the Mall. Boulder began as a supply town for gold miners and Pearl Street was the main road from the plains up into the mountains, as well as the commercial city center for 100 years. It was first established in the 1860s and thought to be named after the wife of one of the city founders. In 1977, the Pearl Street pedestrian mall was dedicated purely to foot traffic.

Stroll along with Historic Boulder former Board President Patrick O’Rourke, as he points out important historic buildings, tells stories of events, and explains how historic preservation contributes to the Mall’s success.
