 Architecturally
fascinating mansions and grand houses designed for Denver's
social and political elite define the 380-home Denver Country
Club neighborhood.
Wheat farmer John Reithman sold his 400 acres in 1902 to
a group of investors intent on creating a premier residential
neighborhood in Denver.
Bordered on the south by East First Avenue, on the east by
University Boulevard, on the west by Downing Street, and on
the north by East Sixth Avenue, the area known today as Country
Club attracted nearly every famous architect in the region,
many of whom chose to build their own homes there.
Before long, the land was sold and masterpieces were built
which would forever distinguish this area as a neighborhood
of uncommon opulence. Great red-tiled and stucco-walled gates
welcomed residents to the community Denver Country Club itself,
located to the south of the area, was designed with the clubhouse
at its center, complete with exquisite entertainment and dining
rooms, and a gracious golf course on either side of Cherry
Creek, which ran through its borders.
The Country Club Historic District begins north of the Denver
Country Club at 1st Avenue and extends to 4th Avenue, to 6th
Avenue along Circle Drive, and from University Boulevard to
Downing Street. William and Arthur Fisher, in collaboration
with prominent Boston architect, Frederick Law Olmsted, Jr.,
designed the exclusive Country Club Place subdivision between
Franklin and Race Streets in 1909.
It has been designated a Denver Historic District. Set in
the middle of the metro area, Country Club affords residents
a 10- minute drive to down- town Denver, as well as access
to the Denver 7, z Botanic Gardens, Cheesman Park, and City
Park with its IMAX theatre and Natural History Museum. Cherry
Both Creek North and the Cherry Creek Shopping Center, vibrant
and exciting shopping experiences, beckon across University
Boulevard, a short walk from any home in the area. A community
rich in beauty, diversity and character, Country Club continues
to embody the vision of its developers: a neighborhood of
affluence and prominence in the heart of the city.
