Whittier is a historic Denver neighborhood northeast of Downtown, adjacent to Five Points and west of City Park. The neighborhood is predominantly single-family homes on tree-lined streets, most of them built in the early 20th century as Denver’s population continued to expand eastward from Downtown and Denver’s first “suburban” neighborhoods of Capitol Hill and Curtis Park.
Early residents of this neighborhood first registered in 1868 included University of Denver founder Alfred Case and early Denver attorney Jacob Downing, who’s also credited with promoting Denver’s park system. Carpenters, bricklayers and metal workers also settled in Whittier, building Victorian, traditional Denver Square and Queen Anne-style homes.
