Find History, Mansions and Fun in Capitol Hill
The Capitol Hill neighborhood is one of the oldest in Denver beginning in 1864 when the first homes were built by Denver’s elite. The Denver Capitol, completed in 1894, became the centerpiece of this great area and it immediately became the place to be for many of Denver's wealthiest residents who built beautiful Victorian mansions.
After the prices of silver crashed, multi-residential developments were constructed and the area began its transformation into one of the most diverse and eclectic places of the metro. Beat poets such as Jack Kerouac and Alan Ginsberg made Capitol Hill their home.
