Stocke / Walter Addition

Jefferson County

The Stocke Addition was formally platted in 1904, and the Walter subdivision dates from 1920.  Development of the neighborhood was aided by its proximity to the interurban electric railway which ran just to the west.

Stocke / Walter Addition

The neighborhood is distinguished by the varied size of its lots, with several substantial tracts reflecting Arvada’s agricultural heritage.  Most residences are wood frame.  Cottages and Bungalows are common, with several of the large late 19th century homes along Grandview Avenue reflecting Queen Anne detailing.  The district is located to the east of the Arvada Downtown historic district.
