Uptown
The Uptown neighborhood was one of Denver's first streetcar suburbs in the late 1800's. The neighborhood was once filled with mansions built by some of Denver's wealthiest business owners. However, during the 1960's and 1970's, many of the blocks on the western side of the neighborhood, closest to downtown, were razed to make room for surface parking lots. Thankfully, the Victorian era homes in the eastern portion of the neighborhood survived. The neighborhood is currently undergoing a buildings boom, with the surface lots now being replaced by condominium and loft buildings of all sizes. The current population of the neighborhood is approximately 8,000. (Click on the thumbnails for larger pics)
