Colfax Diner Could Be Saved From The Wrecking Ball

DENVER (CBS4) - A Denver diner could be spared the wrecking ball. However, supporters of Tom's Diner on Colfax Avenue only have a few weeks to save the restaurant.

The restaurant is up for sale, and the owner applied for non-historic status. That makes it easier to tear the building down for redevelopment.

The city's Landmark Preservation Office announced the diner is potentially historic, on Friday.

Supporters have until June 7 to apply for landmark designation.

If no applications are filed, the restaurant will be demolished.
