Why Sunnyside has its own termite considerations
Built for owners of modest early-1900s Victorian and bungalow homes.
Sunnyside developed as a working- and middle-class streetcar suburb in northwest Denver, alongside Berkeley, through the 1900s-1920s boom.
Victorian, Denver Square, and bungalow housing predominates.
Homes here are smaller and more modest than Capitol Hill’s mansions, but just as old and just as wood-frame-dependent.
Termite exposure in Sunnyside is a function of age rather than architectural grandeur — modest early-1900s wood-frame construction still carries real risk.
