"This small addition, designed as a neighborhood for those wishing to move east from Capitol Hill, was predominantly occupied by the social elite of Denver. The land was purchased in 1887 by Samuel P. Morgan from the Catholic Church, who historically had used the land as a cemetery. The majority of the homes located in the district were built between 1910 and 1930 in the styles popular during the City Beautiful movement, including Classical Revival, Mediterranean Revival, and Tudor styles as well as a Denver Square with Craftsman ornamentation. These high-style homes were often designed by prominent Denver architects including Fisher and Fisher, Maurice Biscoe, Biscoe and Hewitt, and Burnham Hoyt."
