Capitol Hill’s borders are Colfax to Seventh and Broadway to Downing.

It was Henry C. Brown who donated land to Colorado for a State Capitol. Henry ownded substantial adjacent land and wanted to develop it. Brown built the Brown Palace Hotel. He had no relation to Margaret Tobin Brown (Molly, the unsinkable). 

It was Brown who named Broadway, referencing the Broadway of New York City. Broadway Street was the original eastern border of Denver where the diagonal streets of Downtown Denver ended.

Pre-eminent among Capitol Hill’s numerous historical residences are the 1899 William Lang designed Molly Brown House and the 1906 Crawford hill mansion at Sherman and 10th. This French Renaissance Revival extravaganza became home to the “Sacred 36″ an elite group of Denver Socialites. Today it’s executive offices.

Among Capitol Hill’s numerous Historical Multi-Unit Residences are the 1896 Spanish Colonial Revival Style Sterns Mansion at 1030 Logan, the 1891 Queen Ann Style Pennborough at 1265 Pennsylvania and the 1890 Richardson Romanesque Style Charline Place at 1419 – 1441 Pennsylvania.

Noted for it’s density and diversity, it’s bohemians, gays, punks, politicos, artists, urban homesteaders and professionals, Capitol Hill has a total current population of 15,000 with 11,700 housing units. Home ownership on the Hill is at 18%, while in Denver it’s over 52%. More than 50% of 25 and Over Hill Residents have College Degrees, compared to less than 40% for Denver.

Boundaries:  Larimer Street, Speer Boulevard, Wynkoop Street and 20th Street

Population:  2,180

Overview: Lower Downtown–or LoDo, as it is commonly referred to–is located in the area where Denver was founded in 1858 by General William Larimer. Redolent with history, this neighborhood of three and four story red brick buildings was built on the site of Denver’s first Gold Rush settlement. I have been working and playing in LoDo since 1992 when the only bars were The Cruise Room, The Wazee Supper Club and Billabongs. Coors Field was just a Field of Dreams, Now the Colorado Rockies are the 2007 National League Champions. What a transformation and what a Rocktober in Denver. Today, LoDo is a vibrant 25-block urban neighborhood and tourist destination. 

Lower Downtown was a bustling commercial area during Denver’s early years. However, much of Denver’s industrial economy shifted away from Lower Downtown after World War II, and almost one-fifth of the buildings in the area were demolished in the 1960s and 1970s. In order to preserve Denver’s historic legacy, Denver City Council created the Lower Downtown Historic District in 1988. The historic district designation introduced zoning ordinances that limited building heights, preserved dozens of buildings from the wrecking ball, and instituted strict guidelines for building rehabilitation and new construction.

Today, LoDo is a  neighborhood with lots of entertainment options. Art galleries, dozens of restaurants, brewpubs, jazz clubs, and specialty retail stores line the ground floors of historic buildings. LoDo Loft residents enjoy proximity to outdoor parks, including the Cherry Creek bike path, the 16th Street Mall, The Pepsi Center, and the recently completed 30-acre Commons Park in the Central Platte Valley. Coors Field, home of the Colorado Rockies, anchors the neighborhood at 20th and Blake Street. Wynkoop Street is home to historic Denver Union Station, the Tattered Cover bookstore, and the Wynkoop Brewing Co., Denver’s first brewpub (and the country’s largest) that opened in 1988.

 Most recently I lived in West End Lofts (In the Bridge Loft over the Alley) and walked my Labradoodle around the street’s of LoDo 4 times a day. So you could say that I do Know this Neighborhood every street and every alley.
