Denver's City Park and Whittier Neighborhoods. Discover the hidden history of the Whittier neighborhood and City Park through never-before-published photographs. History Colorado's Shawn Snow will tell how visionary pioneers such as Alfred Case and Jacob Downing amassed real estate holdings far from downtown when the city was barely ten years old. Their speculation paid off when the newly arrived railroad led to a population explosion. The erstwhile prairie dog domain evolved into a middle-class haven of fine Victorian homes blessed with a 320-acre park just to the east.
