The neighborhood

You know the way.

Summer nights in the ice cream line. Laps around Wash Park. Some neighborhoods you live in. This one you carry with you.

A hand-drawn neighborhood

The grid stops here.

Denver builds to the grid. In 1923, Bonnie Brae was drawn by hand: winding streets, an elliptical park, a Tudor beside a mid-century ranch. A century on, it still has no interest in fitting in.

On the block

Your front porch on Bonnie Brae's main street.

The whole building works like one: a front-row place on the 700 block of University, where the neighborhood has always stopped to say hello. Step outside, and you're already part of it.
