Its all true by the way. The owner is associated with the Lafayette Foundation here in the Denver area. Good fellow.

"...I read somewhere that it was occasionally open to the public, but I remember there being an extremely sturdy fence and guard dogs, as well as "No Trespassing" signs, so I tend to doubt the veracity of that report. Since it is now located inside the city, it is possible to get glimpses of it driving past, but the fence and vegetation can obscure the view...'


Not quite accurate as it was open to family functions...high school prom parties of the owner's children. Never to the public. Occassionally a writer has been allowed in. Several Lafayette Foundation get togethers and our board meetings have been held there. The building has had several renovations since it was first completed in 1887. I know what I would buy if I won the lottery.

I don't believe that this web page is anything recent. I ran across it while surfing several years ago.
