“There is not such a cradle of democracy upon the earth as the Free Public Library, this republic of letters, where neither rank, office, nor wealth receives the slightest consideration.”
― Andrew Carnegie

The William H. Smiley branch of the Denver Public Library located at the southeast corner of Berkeley Park near 46th Ave and Tennyson St. in North Denver was built in 1918 with a donation from the Industrialist tycoon Andrew Carnegie.

As a self made man, Carnegie saw the free public library as a way for the working class to improve their lot in life through education and study. Between 1886 and 1919 he donated more than $40 million to build 1,679 Public Libraries across the nation.   

 Named for a popular Harvard trained educator and Superintendent of Denver Public Schools William H. Smiley, this branch was one of eight Carnegie libraries built in the Denver area.

Constructed in the English-Norman Cottage architectual style, the building along with Berkeley Park Historic District is included on the National Register of Historic Places.

For the past 93 years this wonderful library has made the Berkeley neighborhood a great place to live and learn.

In the years following World War 1 Americans became enchanted with the exotic Orient. In 1924 the silent film classic "The Thief of Bagdad" staring Douglas Fairbanks was instrumental in fueling this fascination. Architectural design of theaters and public buildings soon began reflecting this developing taste. This style of Architecture called "Moorish Revival" is evident in North Denver's Oriental Theater located at 4335 W. 44th Ave in the Berkeley neighborhood. Built in 1927, the theater is listed on the National Registry of Historic Places and continues to be a host to a mix of campy films, Live music and Comedy shows. My grandmother lived just a few blocks north of the theater in the 1960's. I fondly remember a Saturday afternoon at the Oriental Theater watching the
zany antics of Frankie and Annette in "Beach Blanket Bingo". It was a movie that did not have the elaborate hand painted Moorish sets and backdrops which had inspired 1920's America, however watching it in such a wonderful movie theater still felt like a magic carpet ride.  Do you have any memories of a neighborhood Theater?  Please feel free to share them with us.

Community Groups Active in Denver neighborhoods

One of the best things about being a part of a neighborhood is the chance to start, or join, a community group.  Depending on the neighborhood, groups form around a number of things including children, outdoor activities, shopping, health and beauty and politics, just to name a few.    The Denver neighborhoods of Berkeley, Sunnyside, Regis and Highland all have active community groups.

Berkeley Regis United Neighbors, or BRUN was formed by locals to promote the Berkeley Regis neighborhoods and make the area safe for families, single and married couples to live, work and enjoy life. The group has been active in forming the Tennyson Streetscape Plan, and participates in planning meetings to enhance the look of Tennyson Blvd. between Highland and Sunnyside neighborhoods. They also hosted a BRUN candidates forum for the November elections, which allowed neighbors to join together to decide which candidates would best represent them. The Berkeley Regis United Neighbors group also hosts a monthly neighborhood social hour at a local bar/restaurant so that people in the area can get to know each other better and have some fun! Find more information at www.berkeleyregisneighbors.org.

Highland United Neighborhood Association, or HUNI, was formed to facilitate consistent and responsible communication among Highland neighbors and the community at large, to improve the quality of life for its residents, organizations and businesses and to provide advocacy and promotion for the community. Several volunteer committees work to provide a sense of community through political action and social community events. For more information, or to join go to www.DenverHighland.org.

Federal Blvd. Partnership - www.FederalBlvd.com. The Federal Boulevard Partnership was formed in 2005 by local Federal business and community interests to fulfill the mission to improve health and safety, accessibility, sustainability and economic vitality along Federal Boulevard, while preserving its cultural diversity and historic character. The vision for the “Boulevard” is one of Denver’s main streets where people live, work, and play in a clean and safe pedestrian friendly environment that embraces cultural, social, and economic diversity. This community group is currently working on the Boulevard Wellspring Initiative and the Boulevard Streetscape Project. The Federal Boulevard Partnership is run by a community of volunteers interested in working together to improve their neighborhood.

Sunnyside United Neighbors Inc. - www.sunnysidedenver.org is a nonprofit volunteer organization composed of residents, businesses, schools, and churches that reside or are located within the boundaries of the Sunnyside neighborhood in Historic Northwest Denver.  The intent is for a group of people of diverse cultural and socioeconomic backgrounds to join together in harmony, mutual respect and peace with the purpose of planning and building for the future, improving the present, and preserving and restoring the past of the Sunnyside neighborhood.

Whatever neighborhood you live in, you will find people willing to volunteer their time and money to create a better place to live, shop and work. Community groups are the heartbeat of a neighborhood, and joining one is a great way to make friends!
