The Lumber Baron Inn and Gardens is a beautifully restored 1890 Victorian mansion nestled in Northwest Denver's Highlands neighborhood. Walter Keller began a painstakingly thorough renovation of the historic building in 1991. Today, Walter and his son John are the Innkeepers. Together they make the Lumber Baron a wonderful place to experience.
In 1890, John Mouat, Scottish immigrant, amassed a fortune in lumber. Working with the top architects of the day, Mouat helped build Denver from a mining camp along Cherry Creek to the crown rowing town of Highlands - geographically and morally above the wild town of Denver. Built as a home to his five children and wife, Amelia, Mouat showcased his finest wares in this 8,500 square s: cherry, oak, poplar, sycamore, maple, and walnut - each with distinct carvings and fine details. The dining room woodwork has individually carved rosettes representing varied species of trees.
Elegantly apportioned guestrooms, each with private bath and phone complete the second floor. The third floor with a 20 foot pyramid ceiling and select maple floor once hosted Victorian social events for r special events today. A full catering kitchen has replaced Amelia's original, now capable of serving our guests a full breakfast.
