Crawford Hill Mansion, Châteauesque mansion in Capitol Hill, Denver, US
The Crawford Hill Mansion is a 19,000-square-foot house of brick and sandstone with Ionic columns and a mansard roof, built in the French Renaissance Revival style. It stands at the corner of Tenth and Sherman Streets in Denver, Colorado.
The mansion was built in 1906 for Crawford Hill and Louise Sneed Hill, whose fortune came from the smelting industry. Louise Sneed Hill led Denver society and excluded Jews and Catholics. The house later served as the Jewish Town Club, and in 1990 it was restored as law offices for Haddon, Morgan & Foreman, saving it from demolition.
Louise Sneed Hill, who had the house built with her husband Crawford in 1906, led Denver society and excluded Jews and Catholics from her circle. The building later served as the Jewish Town Club, a reversal of that exclusion. Since 1990 its rooms have held the law offices of Haddon, Morgan & Foreman.
The mansion is located in the Capitol Hill neighborhood and welcomes visitors interested in historical architecture due to its National Register listing. The protected exterior features are visible from the street, allowing a clear view of its châteauesque design elements.
The mansion was home to the Jewish Town Club before 1990, when a restoration for the law firm Haddon, Morgan & Foreman reversed years of neglect and poor earlier work and saved the building from demolition. In 2022 it was bought by the Salazar Family Foundation, founded by Rob and Lola Salazar in 1999.
