Herman Coors House, Tudor revival house in Golden, United States.
The Herman Coors House is a single-family home in Golden, Colorado, featuring stone facing and a wooden entry canopy in the Tudor Revival style. The structure displays rustic architectural details through its exterior materials and design elements.
Elmer Johnson built the house in 1915 as a modest bungalow; he later built the Coors Brewery brewhouse in 1934. Herman Frederick Coors, third son of Adolph Coors, bought it in 1917 and hired Denver architect Jacques Benedict, whose Tudor Revival modification and expansion was completed in 1919. Coors managed the Coors Porcelain Company before moving to Inglewood, California, in 1921.
The house is named for Herman Coors, third son of brewer Adolph Coors, who managed the Coors Porcelain Company. In 1921 he left for Inglewood, California, where he founded the H.F. Coors China Company to make porcelain dishware. The name on the property thus links a Golden residence to a family ceramics business that later operated on the West Coast.
This private residence is located on Arapahoe Street in Golden, Colorado, and appears on the National Register of Historic Places. Since it remains a private home, viewing is best done from the street while respecting the owners' privacy.
Banker Edward A. Phinney, owner of Golden's Rubey National Bank, bought the house after Coors and in 1928 added a companion cottage and barn behind it. He lost much of his fortune in the Bank Holiday of the Great Depression.
