Costco to Host Book Signing for Historic Colorado Mansions & Castles Author

LITTLETON, Colo. - Nov. 24, 2014 - PRLog -- The discovery of gold and silver in Colorado’s Rocky Mountains minted millionaires by the ton. The rough settlements of miners and ranchers quickly transformed into habitations more suitable for the newly wealthy class.

William Newton Byers founded the Centennial State’s first newspaper and built an Italianate-style palace with the proceeds, while Walter Scott Cheesman’s Capitol Hill home later became the governor’s residence. Stroll into the parlors and drawing rooms of oligarchs like August A. Meyer, Lyman Robison and James Joseph Brown. Visit Romanesque castles cut from native lava and country retreats designed by the country’s foremost architects.

Linda Wommack offers a tour of the finest mansions in Colorado, all proudly bearing the mark of the State and National Registers of Historic Preservation.
