Stoiber-Reed-Humphreys Mansion, Renaissance Revival mansion in Humboldt Street Historic District, Denver, United States.
The Stoiber-Reed-Humphreys Mansion is a large Renaissance Revival house with 30 rooms, including nine bedrooms and nine bathrooms. The building features a grand entrance hall and was outfitted with modern conveniences such as an elevator, swimming pool, and bowling alley.
Edward G. Stoiber, a German mining engineer who owned the Silver Lake Mine in Silverton, drew the plans himself; after his death in Paris his wife Lena hired Marean and Norton, architects of the Colorado Governor's Mansion, to build the house in 1907. Lena remarried in 1909 to Hugh Rood, who died on the Titanic, and sold the house to oil developer Verner Z. Reed. Albert and Ruth Boettcher Humphreys bought it in 1920; Ruth died in 1959, Albert in 1968, and several owners followed.
The mansion shows how Denver's wealthiest mining and oil families lived in the early 1900s. The rooms and furnishings reflect the tastes and status symbols of the city's most successful business leaders of that era.
The mansion is located in the historic Humboldt Street neighborhood, easily accessible by car or public transit. Check ahead to see if tours or special events are offered, as it remains a private residence.
The house was built to sketches by Edward G. Stoiber, a German mining engineer who owned the Silver Lake Mine in Silverton, Colorado. He died in Paris before construction, and his widow Lena hired Marean and Norton, the architects of the Colorado Governor's Mansion, to turn the drawings into the 1907 mansion.
