Congress and Cheesman were once one park known as Congress Park. The name came from the Act of Congress that converted Denver’s former cemeteries from Federal to City ownership. The main western part of the park would be renamed in honor of Denver water baron Walter S. Cheesman

Located few minutes east of Denver's downtown, Congress Park pales in comparison to the large, vertical reaches of the business district, but its buildings have a charm all their own since most of them were built around the 1920s. This neighborhood resembles the washington park neighborhood. Similar architecture is present including many victorian style homes, denver squares and bungalows.
