| Info | Robert Speer served as the Mayor of Denver for three terms, with his first election in 1904. Mayor Speer was dedicated to improving the quality of life in Denver. He established the City Beautiful programs that have created and preserved some of the city’s most prized landmarks, including the tree-lined Cherry Creek and Civic Center Park. Having built and improved numerous parks, the Denver Museum of Nature and Science and the City Auditorium, a prominent boulevard now runs through downtown bearing his name proudly. In 1908, Denver, nicknamed the “Queen City of the Plains”, hosted the Democratic National Convention in what is today’s Denver Performing Arts Complex.
