Cheesman Park
The 80-acre park with the 1910 Cheesman Memorial Pavilion anchors the neighborhood and is the green edge that cools the surrounding blocks on summer evenings.
Cheesman Park holds the city's most concentrated collection of Denver Squares, and many of them are now two homes. We work the Victorian mansions, Denver Squares and garden-level apartments around the 80-acre park, where the top floor roasts and the garden level freezes. Call (720) 806-7634 and tell us what your system is doing.

Just practical help.Cheesman Park's Denver Squares were built as one-family houses and many are now two homes: a garden-level unit below, a main unit above. The garden level stays cold while the top floor roasts, and the Humboldt Street Historic District governs what can go on the outside — that split defines the work here.
A Denver Square that is now two homes needs two controls. These are the three patterns we see most here.
A Denver Square with a garden-level apartment below and a main unit above has two climates in one house: the garden level is cold and damp while the top floor roasts.
How we help: We give each level its own control, usually with ductless heads, so the garden unit and the main unit stop fighting over one thermostat.
The Humboldt Street districts cover selected blocks here, and visible exterior changes, including condenser placement, generally need Landmark Preservation design review.
How we help: We plan condenser placement with the review process in mind from the first visit, and we verify per address whether a property falls inside a district.
Many Cheesman Park homes were built with boilers or furnaces for one family, and subdivision changed the load without changing the equipment.
How we help: We inspect the system as it serves the house today, not as it was built, and we talk through per-unit options where the shared system cannot keep up.

Cheesman Park is the neighborhood around the 80-acre park, and the park is the landmark. We use the Botanic Gardens and the pavilion as orientation points, and the Humboldt Street blocks as the historic core.
The 80-acre park with the 1910 Cheesman Memorial Pavilion anchors the neighborhood and is the green edge that cools the surrounding blocks on summer evenings.
The Botanic Gardens border the park and are our reference point for calls on the neighborhood's eastern edge.
Humboldt Street is the historic core, with the Humboldt Street Historic District's 26 homes, and the blocks where exterior equipment needs the most care.
The 7th Avenue Parkway runs along the neighborhood's southern edge and is the tree-filled corridor we use to orient on the southern blocks.
These are the blocks and corridors we serve most often in Cheesman Park. Nearby areas may also qualify—call if you do not see yours.

Call (720) 806-7634 →The garden level sits below grade and was never part of the original heating plan for one family. A ductless head gives it its own control, so it stops depending on a thermostat upstairs that has no idea how cold the lower level is.
The Humboldt Street Historic District dates to 1972, and visible exterior changes — condenser placement included — generally need Landmark Preservation design review. Placement gets planned with that process in mind and verified per address, since designation applies to selected properties and districts, not to every older home.
Usually, yes. Ductless mini-splits are the common path for homes with no usable ductwork, and they avoid opening plaster walls or historic interiors. The heads cool the rooms that need it; the house's fabric stays intact.
It depends on the boiler, the radiators and the flue. A pressure test and an inspection of the heat exchanger and venting show whether a repair buys real years. The findings get laid out so the decision is made with the facts, not with a guess.
