 A piece of Elvis Presley and Denver Police Department history may be torn down to make way for a new Walgreens.

Presley donated money to the department in 1971 for the completion of a gym in the name of a slain officer.

The building which housed the District 2 station, including the Nading-Presley Memorial Gym at 3555 Colorado Blvd., is an attractive location, said Walgreens spokesman Robert Elfinger.

“We haven’t signed a lease yet, but, yes, we are looking at that location,” Elfinger said.
