This postcard features the Sunken Gardens lake that was in front of the school. The Sunken Gardens was part of the City Beautiful Movement (
visit link) championed in Denver by Mayor Speer. The Sunken Gardens were filled in in the 1930s due to the polio scare. (This information came from the Sunken Gardens plaque at (

Information about West High School may be found at (

This park is not a good place to be in the evening/night due to illegal drug sales (the problem is being worked on by the Denver Police).
