Governor's Mansion

Historic Denver Inc.
Jul 21 2012 - 3:32pm

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 »

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 »
