| abstract | - The City of Denver, Auraria, and Highland was chartered as the 1859 territorial capital after the start of the 1858 Pikes Peak Gold Rush; and the 1887 Fort Logan was established in the modern Denver Metropolitan Area. East of the state capital, military training at Montclair, Colorado, began at the future airfield when the 1887 Jarvis Hall Military School opened. Montclair was incorporated into Denver in 1903 and Jarvis Hall burned down in 1904. Agnes Phipps Memorial Sanatorium: A tuberculosis hospital was established in 1904 at 520 Rampart Way (cf. "East 6th Avenue and Quebec Street") by Lawrence C. Phipps, Sr., and in the 1930s the sanatorium included 17 buildings designed by the Gove and Walsh firm and subsequently used on the Army airfield for which Denver purchased the hospital after a 1935 municipal bond vote. "After several fires at Chanute Field, Illinois and deterioration of the buildings", a 1934 Air Corps announcement solicited a replacement training location and Denver submitted a bid. On 27 August 1937, the Denver Branch, Air Corps Technical School, was formed with Departments of Photography and Armament and on 4 October 1937,[citation needed] the WPA began converting the sanatorium grounds into a Colorado military airfield. In February 1938 the airfield being installed adjacent to Fairmont Cemetery was assigned to the Air Corps Technical School headquartered at Chanute,[citation needed] and "the Denver branch of the Army Air Corps became an Army post of 880 acres."
