Walter Cheesman by Cynthia Mahon-Southern

Walter Cheesman was a water baron of Victorian Denver, CO.  He constructed and developed Cheesman reservoir in the mountains near Denver.  Much of Denver's water comes from this reservoir.  Cheesman Park and the neoclassical parthenon in it is named in his honor.
