Why Speer has its own termite considerations
Built for owners of Denver Square, Craftsman, and Victorian homes in the Alamo Placita area.
Speer includes the Alamo Placita Historic District, developed 1890-1925, with a high concentration of wood-frame Denver Square, Craftsman, and Queen Anne construction.
Some homes were built by early Scandinavian immigrant craftsmen who settled the area, later followed by a Greek immigrant community.
The neighborhood sits along Speer Boulevard and Cherry Creek, bringing a waterway/moisture factor to the area.
The density and age of original wood-sided, wood-trimmed housing from the 1890-1925 period, plus Cherry Creek waterway proximity, are the specific local risk factors.
