Step into the 1880s and meet our quirky Queen Anne-style mansion, crafted by the renowned architect Fred Edbrooke for George C. Schleier, the hat tycoon and politician with a flair for the dramatic. This historic gem flaunts gargoyles, engraved Bavarian swans nodding to Schleier’s German roots, and an iconic dome that’s the talk of the town. With eight fireplaces, some hand-carved, it’s the perfect blend of opulence and charm.
Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, this mansion has spent decades as office space, quietly awaiting its moment to shine. Thanks to the efforts of Annie Levinsky and Historic Denver, it now has a preservation easement to safeguard its splendor. As we breathe new life into this historic treasure, we’re excited to anchor a growing neighborhood and welcome a new generation to experience its magic.
