DENVER (CBS4) - A former hostel previously shut down by the City of Denver is now on track to become a historic landmark. City councilors advanced a bill at their Monday night meeting regarding the Essex apartment building.
Built in 1912 at 16th Avenue and Washington Street, it was last home to the Denver International Youth Hostel.

The city council will take a final vote on its historic status next Monday.
