1129 N Pennsylvania Street Denver, CO 80203

Located on the tree-lined, five-block Pennsylvania Street Historic District, 1129 Pennsylvania presents a rare opportunity to own a piece of Denver history. Known as the historic Butters House, this Queen Anne Victorian-style home was constructed in 1890. The property, with a size of 7326 square feet, was designed by Frank E. Edbrooks (1840–1921), who also supervised the building of the Tabor block and the Grand Opera House. Edbrooks' designs include The Brown Palace Hotel, the Masonic Temple, the Oxford Hotel, the Denver Dry Goods Building, and the original Temple Emanuel. Outside of Denver, his preserved buildings include the Steamboat Springs Depot, Ouray County Courthouse and the Toltec Hotel in Trinidad. The Butters House was built for Alfred Butters, a native of Maine born in 1826, who moved to Denver in 1860. Butters was a substantial cattleman and one of Denver’s most prominent early citizens. He was elected to the territory’s House of Representatives in 1874 and became the Speaker of the House in 1876. In the year of Colorado’s statehood, he was elected to the state’s first Senate. In 1981, Preservation Partnership completely refurbished the building, and it subsequently received landmark designation by the city council. This property is suited for history lovers and historic preservationists.
