Leonard Leonard & Associates - Capitol Hill Architecture

8th Avenue to Colfax, Sherman to Corona

Every block of Capitol Hill offers a different style and character of architecture. Some of the best examples of "The Denver Style" mansion, the "Denver Square" and Victorian homes, along with modern high-rise condominiums and office conversions can be found here. Capitol Hill has a home style for all.

	428 East 11th Avenue The Croke Patterson Mansion Don't miss the Croke Patterson mansion on the corner of 11th and Emerson. Like many of the mansions on the hill, they say it's haunted and there is often a tour here each year so that you can hear the story of the ghost who is still believed to occupy the premises.
	500 East 8th Avenue Malo Mansion Built by Harry Manning in 1921 for the Malo family, this is one of Denver’s best examples of Spanish Colonial Revival. Elaborate cast-concrete details on the three arches surround the recessed porch and are adorned by wrought iron balconettes. The exterior features hand painted ceramic tiles under the roof eaves.
	450 East 9th Avenue The Weckbaugh Mansion This formal, French style townhouse was built by John Kernan Mullen for his daughter, Ella Mullen Weckbaugh in 1908. The steep-hipped roof and arched side dormers are manifestations of the Beaux Arts style.
	1340 Pennsylvania The Molly Brown House Denver's well known landmark is a fine example of the Queen Anne Style of Architecture.
	1121 Clarkson Street One of the first Denver Squares built in 1896 by Calvin T. Fleming for himself. The Flemings were a partnership of four brothers who started their business as carpenters in the Baker neighborhood. They developed many of the more common Foursquare houses as speculation houses, probably by following a pattern book.
