Take a Walk into Denver's Historic Past

Our name says it all.  Vintage Homes of Denver has a passion for historic Denver real estate.  Jesse Sehlmeyer, owner and CEO, was born on York Street in the Capitol Hill neighborhood and spent his youth riding bikes in and around Denver‘s oldest neighborhoods.  It is this experience that created a lifetime love and interest in Denver‘s past.

Historic Denveris an organization that works tirelessly to preserve architecture, neighborhoods and landscapes that are essential to the preservation of Denver‘s unique past.  They have been instrumental in the halted destruction of many important Denver landmarks, most notably perhaps is the famous Molly Brown House Museum.

Historic Denver is a non-profit organization that is one of the most successful in the nation.

As new members of Historic Denver, those of us at Vintage Homes of Denver are excited to be a part of the protection of Denver‘s legacy.  The charm that so many seek out in neighborhoods like Wash Park, Platt Park, Capitol Hill, Congress Park, and the Highlands is directly related to the preserved historical components that Historic Denver works to protect.

Recently, we took advantage of Historic Denver‘s newest program, Denver Story Trek.  This is a wonderful addition to their portfolio.  At the website, you are able to download audio tours that talk you through many historic areas of Denver.  You may choose to walk, drive or bike along with the audio tour.  The tours can be heard over the phone, or you are able to download them to an mp3 player, free of charge.  What better way to spend an afternoon than learning about Denver‘s colorful past?  There is also a feature on the website that allows you to add your own story or trek.  So, grab the bike or the leash and explore historic Denver real estate!
