Chief Hosa Lodge
Located in Genesee Park, the Chief Hosa Lodge was built in 1918. The Lodge’s namesake is Arapaho tribal leader, Little Raven who was charged with keeping peace in the area. He was given “Hosa” as an honorary title; which in the Ute language means peaceful and beautiful. He was one of the first Native American emissaries to Congress; signing treaties with Ulysses S. Grant and then Governor Evans. The Lodge is constructed of hand quarried Colorado rainbow granite and offers sweeping views of the Continental Divide, ample patio space, and over 3000 sq. ft. of meeting space.

Montclair Civic Building – “The Molkery”
Completed in 1888 by Walter Baron Von Richtofen, this historic building began as a Consumptive Resort for tuberculosis patients. The Baron had extensive land ownership in the Montclair area, which now boasts one of the oldest suburban communities in the Metro area. After Denver’s annexation of Montclair in 1911, the city purchased the building making it the oldest community center in the system. The building recently underwent extensive renovations, is available year-round and at 975 sq. ft. is perfect for intimate events.

The Washington Park BoathouseBorn out of the “City Beautiful” campaign in the early 20th century, the boathouse was constructed in 1913 by architect Jacques Benedict, who also built Chief Hosa Lodge. The concept of the original park was to provide citizens with parks and facilities to transform Denver into the “Paris of the West”. 165 acres were purchased from 1899-1908 for flower beds and garden grounds. Public facilities and park sites were later added to the original plan. The Boathouse is the third facility constructed in 1913 on the south shore of beautiful Smith Lake. The outdoor pavilion can accommodate up to 150 people and offers picturesque views of renowned Washington Park.

City Park PavilionThe City Park Pavilion is centrally located within the grounds of Denver’s first park, City Park. Although originally purchased in 1878, it was in 1882 that Henry Meryweather designed the original layout of the park modeling it after English pastoral gardens. As part of Denver’s historic “City Beautiful” campaign at the turn of the century, the landmark pavilion was added to the grounds. The Spanish-style structure was designed by architects John Humphreys and William Fisher to showcase the expanding park. Today the Pavilion is managed by the city and available to the public for events of up to 350 people.
