Former Denver fortune cookie factory reopens as art gallery, sculpture garden

Amanda Precourt’s first visit to the crumbling fortune cookie factory in Denver’s Baker neighborhood provided her with some memorable images: thin pieces of paper floating in an inch of water, emblazoned with fortunes of decades past; a ceiling that was partially exposed to the weather and laced in black mold; and gobs of vintage, cookie-making machinery that remained from the company’s six decades in business.
