The Potter Highlands Historic District lies just minutes above downtown Denver as a subdivision of the original town of Highland. Established in 1863 by Rev. Walter Potter, the 36-square block district is one of Colorado’s largest residential historic districts full of victorian, craftsman, and cottage style structures. Among the prominent Potter Highland homes is that of John Mouat at 37th And Bryant, owner of the region’s largest lumber company, today best known as the Lumber Baron Inn & Gardens. Others include the Victorian Cottage of Hugh Mackay at 33rd and Alcott built entirely of grey stone with a matching carriage house, the elaborate Queen Anne on Bryant between 32nd and 33rd currently being renovated as the Fisher mansion, the “Grand Bungalow” Craftsman Landmark at 3600 Clay built by Amos Hughes in 1913, the “Edbrooke 4-Squares” in the 2400 block of west 32nd, the Henry Lee House at 32nd and Clay, and the 1890′s row of Queen Anne Victorians along Bryant in the 3300 block. Check out Potter Highland’s newest neighborhood restaurants: DUO (303-477-4141) in the Weir Block building at 32nd and Zuni.

Overlooking downtown Denver, Highlands is a resurgent center city neighborhood with a rich ethnic history. The community has been home to many waves of American immigrants — Italian, Irish, German and Mexican—who established the neighborhood’s still-thriving churches, businesses, restaurants and cultural events. Today, Highlands is an eclectic urban neighborhood with great shops, restaurants and a strong community. Highlands Garden Café has been a perennial Denver favorite since it opened in 1994. It is housed in two Victorian homes surrounded by lush gardens. Highland Gardens Café has received many local awards, including Best Patio, Best Table, Most Romantic Restaurant and Best Place to Celebrate.
