Park Hill Neighborhood

In 1887 Baron Allois Gullaume Engine von Winckler designed the original Park Hill development on 32 acres of land he owned in northeast Denver. As the neighborhood grew, settlers from many nations, including England, Denmark, Germany, the Netherlands and Italy moved into the neighborhood, as did African Americans. Both South and North Park Hill today remain diverse communities, representing many ethnic backgrounds.

might else go far astray and help to swell the annals of crime and wretchedness and degradation.”  Read more »
