Denver architect Jules J.B. Benedict designed this 1920 building to provide space for an assembly hall, town offices, and the fire department. 

Echo Lake Park, established in 1921 at the foot of Goliath Peak, contains an impressive Rustic style lodge designed by prominent Denver architect J.J.B. Benedict. 

Opened in 1924, the park straddles Mount Evans Road. 

The circa 1927 house has strong associations with two important area businessmen: Richard Crawford Campbell, business manager for the Rocky Mountain News; and Elmer G. Hartner, president of the Western Seed Company.

Denver architect Jules Jacques Benois Benedict designed the Cranmer House in 1917.  Construction of large houses for wealthy clients was one of the principal components of Benedict’s practice, reaching its zenith in the 1920s.  The Italian Renaissance style selected for the Cranmer residence was a favorite of the architect. 

The building, completed in 1922, is important for its association with the development of the Divine Science denomination and its connection with Nona Brooks, co-founder of Divine Science and Denver’s first woman minister. 

Hungarian Freedom and Alamo Placita Parks illustrate the early plan to develop parks facing each other on opposite sides of Speer Boulevard and Cherry Creek.

The John G. and Helen Kerr House, built in 1924-1925, is a good example of the Italian Renaissance Revival style that was popular during the early 20th century.  Located on a large corner lot, the two-story brick residence reflects the extensive and artistic use of Colorado travertine marble. 

The William Henry Kistler family first occupied this house in 1920.  Kistler (1858-1936) was a successful early Denver businessman and founder of the W.H. Kistler Stationery Company, the largest concern of its kind in the West for many years.  Denver architect Jules J.B.Benedict designed the eclectic Jacobethan Revival style house. 

The Kohn House was built in 1925 on the design of architect Jules J.B. Benedict.  The two-story dwelling with rounded corner entrance at the intersection of two wings is the only known example of a triple-axis plan in Benedict’s work.  The combination of quality materials elegantly employed and the artistic use of ornamentation created by skilled craftsmen throughout the house were hallmarks of the architect’s work.  

Completed in 1887, the 21-room residence was built on the prairie fifteen miles east of downtown Denver by real estate promoter Baron Walter von Richthofen as a show home for his Montclair development.  

St. Andrews Episcopal Church, originally named Trinity Memorial Church, was designed in the Gothic style in 1909 by architect Ralph Adams Cram.

St. Elizabeth’s Church was designed by Brother Adrian, O.F.M. of the Sacred Heart province, in the German Gothic style in 1898.  It is constructed of rhyolite quarried at Castle Rock.

The St. Thomas Theological Seminary is comprised of a complex of buildings generally grouped around a quadrangle.  The first building was outgrown fifteen years after its construction in 1908. 

Reinhard Schuetze laid out this scenic park in the grand Victorian manner in 1889.  It features two beautiful lakes; the largest meadow in the Denver park system; a remnant of the City Ditch (which was essential to the watering and hence the development of the park); a forested hill graded by the Olmsted Brothers and planted by DeBoer; romantic deciduous tree plantings; the largest formal summer flower beds in the Denver park and parkway system; and important architectural embellishments such as the 1913 Boat House on Smith’s Lake.

Designed by Jules J.B. Benedict, the 1930-33 Weckbaugh house is one of few local examples of the Norman Chateau style. The large mansion, with ten bedrooms and baths, is situated on 1.7 acres of landscaped grounds.

Like Montclair Park, Highland is a good example of a small multi-use park laid out in the English landscape tradition.  The plantings incorporate a sophisticated mix of plant material, including a few plains cottonwoods planted as street trees in the early 1900s. 

Daniels Park provides panoramic views of the entire Front Range.  Originally a working ranch, several buildings representative of early 20th century rural architecture remain on the site. 

The Lodge is an excellent representation of the master craftsmanship of prominent Denver architect Jules Jacques Benois Benedict.  Designed in his “Colorado Alpine” or Rustic style, the 1928 building originally served as the summer home of Alice Bemis Taylor.  The planning of large urban and mountain residences constituted the major source of commissions for Benedict throughout his career.  His mountain homes represent a blending of the formality he displayed in his urban residences combined with his extensive work in the Denver Mountai

Bergen Park includes the starting point for Squaw Pass Road which provides access to the sub-alpine and alpine lands of Echo Lake, Summit Lake, and Mount Evans. 

This 475-acre park is located in Bear Creek Valley just west of downtown Evergreen.  It includes the most diverse range of developed uses and landscapes of the Denver Mountain Parks. 

The first parcel of land for Fillius Park came as a donation to Denver from cattle rancher Jules J. Clark in 1918, with additional land later obtained through condemnation. 

Beginning in 1913, a series of land acquisitions resulted in this approximately 2,400-acre park.  Genesee Mountain reaches an altitude of 8,200 feet, and numerous deep canyons, mountainous ridges, valleys, and gorges are among the natural features.  Completed in 1914, Genesee Mountain Road winds up to the Genesee Game Preserves located on the mountain’s western side.

Little Park joined the Denver Mountain Park system in 1917.  The unusual eight-sided stone shelter house was designed by Denver architect Jules J.B. Benedict and built by the Civilian Conservation Corps.

The park was included in the Olmsted acquisition plan.  Jules J.B. Benedict designed the circa 1923 native stone and timber well house.  

The 1927 log and native stone building is a well-preserved example of the Rustic style as interpreted by noted architect Jules J.B. Benedict.  Nestled against a hillside, the lodge exhibits the quality of construction and attention to detail associated with his work.
