Check out just a few of the stunning architectural features on the exterior of the Grant-Humphreys Mansion. Erected in 1902, the Grant-Humphreys Mansion has been home to two different families with significant ties to Colorado and American history.
It was built for James Benton Grant, the third Governor of the state of Colorado, whose two-year term ended in 1885. After Grant died in 1911, his wife lived in the mansion for the following six years. She finally sold the house to Albert E. Humphreys in 1917. Humphreys earned renown for being the so-called โKing of the Wildcattersโ after his profitable oil-drilling ventures in Wyoming, Oklahoma, and Texas.
