891 Exchange is a restored historic brick home surrounded by the charming residences of University Hill, just a 10-minute walk from the CU Boulder campus. Combining the character of its original arched windows and exposed brick with modern kitchens, in-unit laundry, and private bedrooms, 891 Exchange offers a unique living experience in one of Boulder's most established neighborhoods.
A house with a history
The building began life about a hundred years ago as a fraternity house, across the street from the former home of George Norlin, the CU president whose name is on the university's main library.
A full restoration kept the brick exterior, the tall arched windows, and the character of the original house, and rebuilt the inside as modern apartments with stainless appliances, granite counters, and a washer and dryer in every unit.
