HISTORY

The history of the Alamo Placita Historic District tells the story of 1860s prairie land along Cherry Creek just three miles southeast of the new town of Denver. Farsighted investor Moses Hallett, an attorney from Illinois, bought the land in 1864. Halletts quarter section of land became Arlington Park Addition, and later, Alamo Placita neighborhood. By 1887, Denvers southern city limit was the northern border of Halletts claim (now East 6th Avenue). A road on the eastern edge of Halletts land, called Hallett Road, is now Downing Street. In 1889, Hallett sold his land to the Arlington Park Land and Improvement Company and became one of several investors in the company.
