Avoca Lodge, Historic summer residence in southwest Denver, Colorado.

Located near Bear Creek, Avoca Lodge features elements of Foursquare architecture with exterior staircases and multiple rooms spread across its 1897 structure.

Margaret Brown, who survived the RMS Titanic disaster, and her husband James Joseph Brown built this property in 1897 as their summer retreat.

The name Avoca comes from County Wicklow in Ireland, referring to a location where two waters meet, reflecting the similar landscape of Bear Creek Valley.

The lodge at 2690 South Wadsworth Boulevard opens for scheduled tours and accepts reservations for private events throughout the year.

An original apple tree remains on the property, marking the location of former extensive orchards that produced various fruits for local markets.
