Capitol Hill - Denver

For 150 years, the Capitol Hill neighborhood has played an important role in the history of Colorado state. By the end of the twentieth century, the area had evolved into an exciting blend of past and present with classic century-old mansions and contemporary town homes and apartment buildings existing side by side.
​
From the historic Molly Brown House to the boldly contemporary Art Museum Residences, Capitol Hill is an exuberant residential, governmental, and commercial center with an array of museums, cafes, clubs, galleries, coffeehouses and shops (Denver Library).

Colorado state capitol building in Denver. Photo courtesy of Colorado.com
The Denver capitol building, in our humble opinion, is one of the most eccentrically built capitols in the U.S. The intricate architecture was constructed in the 1890's and was opened in 1894 (source). In 1908, the gold was added to the roof to commemorate the Colorado Gold Rush. In 2013, the 13th step in front of the building was proclaimed exactly 1 mile or 5280 feet from sea level. Due to past inaccurate measurements, the 15th step is the one labeled with a plaque that reads, "One Mile Above Sea Level."
