EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the magnificent Residence of J. A. McMurtrie, a true testament to opulence and grandeur. The manor house, built in 1890 by John A. McMurtrie, chief engineer of the Denver and Rio Grande Railroad, exudes an air of extravagance that was characteristic of the Gilded Age. The elaborate architecture is a stunning blend of various styles, with its baroque elements and rusticated facade creating a truly unique aesthetic. Turrets rise proudly from the roofline, adding to the asymmetrical charm of this stately home. Chimneys punctuate the sky as if reaching for new heights. Surrounded by lush trees, this dwelling stands as a symbol of wealth and success during an era when millionaires sought to display their prosperity through lavish residences. The verandah invites guests into a world where luxury knows no bounds. Sadly, this architectural masterpiece met its demise in 1965 but lives on through this timeless photograph captured by Rose & Hopkins Studio between 1896-1901. It serves as a window into an era defined by excess and ambition. As we gaze upon this image today, we are reminded not only of the remarkable craftsmanship that went into constructing such homes but also how they reflect society's aspirations at that time - dreams made tangible in brick and mortar.
