American War Mothers National Memorial Home
1601 Peoria St.
Built: 1924-1926 • Landmarked: 1988

The American War Mothers, a service organization, built and operated this house as a place where wives, mothers, children, and sweethearts could stay while visiting wounded soldiers at Fitzsimons Hospital. The front walkway, paved with plaques, honors both group and individual donations to the construction fund. The house continued to serve this same function throughout World War II, finally closing in 1960. The house is now privately owned.
