A landmark home on Denver’s historic 7th Avenue Parkway has sat vacant for the better part of six years, attracting weeds, rodents, the homeless and an unusual form of protest from neighbors frustrated by the eyesore.
“A poop protest, that’s it,” said Mimi Garrison, who has lived next door to the home at 2725 East Seventh Ave. for nearly 50 years. The 120-year-old home was sold in 2015, and the new owner rented it out at first, later beginning a renovation project which stalled out in 2019. It has sat vacant since then and fallen into disrepair, with windows boarded up, doors removed, weeds dotting the 9,000-square-foot parcel and a metal construction fencing erected around the property.
Garrison jokes that the home should be used as a Haunted House at Halloween…
