The Real Unsinkable Molly Brown and Her Denver Home
from Your Lot and Parcel · host Benjamin Diaz/Andrea Malcomb Museum Director
The Molly Brown House Museum stands as an enduring symbol of the turn of the 20th century in Denver. In the 1880s, the fortunate few who made millions in the mountains, the railroads, or trade moved to the prestigious Capitol Hill neighborhood. This included Isaac and Mary Large who made their fortune in silver mining and built the house at 1340 Pennsylvania Avenue. They commissioned the well-known architect William Lang who combined the styles of Classic Queen Anne and Richardsonian Romanesque to create a unique and eclectic home. The home contained all the modern technology of the day including electricity, indoor plumbing, heat, and telephone. www.mollybrown.orghttp://www.yourlotandparcel.orgSupport the show
