History Committee Projects

The WWPNA History Committee trolls a wide range of topics, ideas, and interests. We define our primary focus, however, by engaging in project to promote, sustain, and educate ourselves on the history of West Washington Park. Below are listed the majors projects which currently comprise our focus.

"40 over 40" Oral History Campaign
Since so much of our neighborhood's history is stored in memories, this campaign seeks to identify and interview 40 residents who have lived or worked in the neighborhood for more than 40 years.

Certified Historic Denver Home Campaign
In order to build upon the special character of our homes, we are adding neighborhood properties to Historic Denver's register. This $75 honorary designation requires only a short application, incurs no zoning restrictions, and is certified by a bronze plaque.
