A big new development could be coming to Denver's oldest neighborhood.
By the time I encountered Curtis Park, the neighborhood had mostly become a place to steer clear of — or to just drive through quickly as MLK turns toward downtown. Back in 1999, I was helping a local author write her family story, one that had roots on Stout Street in 1920s Curtis Park, when her Jewish family was one of many in the area.
In the mid-1940s, Curtis Park was still attracting new residents. Many Japanese-American families moved into the area after being released from World War II internment at Camp Amache; Curtis Park was one of the places where they felt most at home and most welcomed. But post-war, the majority of Curtis Park’s new residents were of Mexican descent, and this population only increased as the years progressed.
There were stalwarts in the neighborhood working to make it better, though, to save the history and improve conditions. Resident and realtor John Hayden has lived in Curtis Park for 27 years with his husband.
And we were lucky to find a place that was still relatively affordable in 2015. We loved the aforementioned Curtis Park Creamery on one end of the neighborhood and La Fiesta on the other. We loved the jazz festivals on Welton, loved that we could hear them from our front porch.
