Entire blocks of downtown buildings were leveled in the 1960s and ’70s in the name of urban renewal. In many cases, that meant scraping away the structures and laying down asphalt for parking lots.
A group of Denver residents incorporated as Historic Denver Inc. in 1970 to restore and protect the roughly 7,000-square-foot Capitol Hill mansion that Molly Brown owned from 1894 until her death in 1932. The so-called “House of Lions” was set to be demolished to make way for, that’s right, a parking lot.
The 50-year anniversary of that displacement is being recognized this year. Full-ride college scholarships are available to people who lived in the largely Latino, working-class neighborhood prior to the takeover and their descendants. Designated as a historic district in 2002, this six-block street of Welton Street between 24th and 30th streets was created to honor, protect and shine a spotlight on Denver’s Black history.
