East Denver Turner Hall served as the headquarters for the 31st Bundesturnfest, a national gathering of German-American gymnastics clubs held in Denver. The Turner movement began in Germany in the early 1800s, and its clubs spread to the United States with waves of German immigrants, who built halls like this one as centers for exercise, music, and community life. The record does not give a date for the picture, but it comes from the George Grantham Bain Collection, a large body of news photographs assembled in the early twentieth century. Its caption tags point to architecture and athletic clubs, which makes the building itself the main subject.
