Doud House

Mamie Doud and Dwight D. Eisenhower were married in the living room of this home in 1916. This was the home address for Ike and Mamie throughout Eisenhower’s military career, and it became the Summer White House during the Eisenhower administration. Mamie had attended Dora Moore School, and the Douds were members of Corona Presbyterian Church at 8th and Downing. Ike and Mamie had many Denver friends in the district, and would often join them for dinner at their homes.  Read more »

Governor's Mansion

The Governor’s Mansion was planned by millionaire Walter Scott Cheesman, who arrived in Denver in 1861 and first made his mark dealing in water, early Denver’s most needed commodity. Cheesman diversified into numerous areas, protecting his wealth through behind-the-scenes political dealings in concert with other wealthy businessmen. He died in 1907, never to see his stately mansion. Architects Marean and Norton so impressed his widow with their design of the Cheesman Park Pavilion that she hired them to replace Gove and Walsh as mansion architects.  Read more »

East 7th Avenue Historic District

 

 

Denver is known for its parks and parkways and for the many wonderful residential neighborhoods that have endured close to the heart of the city. The East 7th Avenue Historic District preserves one central neighborhood and three pieces of the park system. With the exception of a few earlier buildings, the district was built primarily from the 1890s through 1930. The district grew out from the core city.  Read more »
