A small holdout house in Denver’s Berkeley neighborhood will be preserved as a rare example of a bygone era after a unanimous City Council vote this month to name the 115-year-old home a historic landmark.
Families from all backgrounds have called the Currie/Dryer Cottage at 4450 N. Tennyson St. home since it was built by Canadian immigrant and carpenter Arthur Wellington Currie in 1909, according to city records.
Currie built the house — along with a larger bungalow next door — but sold the property to Joseph and Josephine Dryer in 1913 after Currie’s wife died.
The Dryers lived in the bungalow and rented the alley house to immigrants, widows, blue-collar workers, young families and seniors, continuing to be involved in the community despite the threatening presence of the local Ku Klux Klan, landmark preservation city planner Abigail Christman said.

Diriker, presenting the study results last week on a call with journalists and political leaders, said the number of new rules and regulations in Colorado rose 2% between 2017 and 2020, for a 0.7% annual growth rate.
