QUEREE HOUSE 2914 West 29th AvenueScottish immigrant Joseph Queree is remembered as one of Denver’s finest carpenters. He built his own home in 1888 and adorned the one-story cottage with an octagonal tower entrance with a bell-cast roof. Red-brick corbelling and arches provide sedate trim. |

Neighborhood Classic Gaetano’s Restaurant and Pizzeria The Smaldone clan still operates this legendary north Denver relic of mobster days. Gaetano’s has not survived on just memories, however. Old-fashioned Italian dishes, smothered with rich red sauces, the deep-dish “terrorizer” pizza and the nostalgic décor are perennial draws. Gaetano’s is also a shrine to the late Frank Sinatra, who monopolizes the jukebox and the wall-décor, along with Italian flags, classical nudes and reminders of the Roman Empire. |
