Synopsis

Alice Millett Bakemeier's second Heritage book probes Denver's prestigious and historic Country Club district, describing accomplishments and revealing personal glimpses of the city's leading statesmen, bankers, and businessmen, who chose Denver's prize architects to design their homes. The neighborhood is anchored by the landmark Denver Country Club and by families who have lived there for three or four generations. The architectural integrity has been maintained by residents dedicated to preserving the quality and spaciousness of the district. Over the years Bakemeier has collected photographs, diaries, house abstracts, family histories, and anecdotes from 200 residents and friends who were her neighbors for over two decades. The book, chock full of illustrations and photos, offers a fascinating history of the area, leading readers through 40-minute walking tours of each of the four major subdivisions, and describing 130 of the most outstanding homes. - From the Publisher
