Baker
Historic South Denver neighborhood of Victorian homes and bungalows, steps from South Broadway and the Mayan Theatre.
Historic South Denver neighborhood of Victorian homes and bungalows, steps from South Broadway and the Mayan Theatre.
Baker sits just south of downtown on the west side of Broadway. Most of its houses went up between the 1870s and the 1910s, and a large part of the neighborhood is a Denver historic district, so the streets still look much like they did when a streetcar ran down Broadway.
The housing is mostly Queen Anne Victorians, brick Denver Squares and small bungalows on narrow lots. Many have been restored, and some carry the original stained glass and wood trim. Near Broadway and the light rail station you'll also find newer townhomes and apartment buildings. Inside the historic district, exterior changes and demolitions go through the city's landmark review, which matters if you plan to add on or rebuild.
Baker's east edge is South Broadway, the strip locals call SoBo. It has dive bars, live music rooms, vintage shops and a long run of restaurants. The Mayan Theatre at 110 Broadway opened in 1930 and still shows independent films under its carved Mayan Revival facade. A few blocks northwest, the Art District on Santa Fe holds a gallery walk on the first Friday of each month.
Alameda Station on Baker's west side puts light rail within walking distance for much of the neighborhood. Broadway has frequent bus service, I-25 is a few minutes south, and Washington Park is about a mile east.
Baker is just south of downtown, on the west side of Broadway. It is a short light rail or bus ride from Union Station.
Much of it is. The Baker Historic District is a Denver landmark district, so exterior renovations, additions and demolitions inside it need approval from the city's landmark preservation staff.
Bars, live music and independent shops, plus the Mayan Theatre. Farther south, past Mississippi Avenue, the street turns into Antique Row.
