  • FUN FACTS from the BROADMOOR • Count James
    FUN FACTS FROM THE BROADMOOR • Count James Pourtales, being a man of vision who developed the concept of building a casino on the property that is now called The BROADMOOR, came to the United States from Prussia. • Pourtales built Cheyenne Lake to enhance the beauty of the land but fourteen days later the lake mysteriously emptied itself, so at great expense the excavation was filled with clay. Today, the lake remains one of The BROADMOOR’s most enduring features. • Spencer Penrose made his vast fortune in real estate, gold mining and ore processing in nearby Cripple Creek, Colorado and Bingham Canyon, Utah. Penrose also developed a foundry for ore extraction from his copper mines in Utah. • The name Broadmoor was in use by the late 1800’s and was unusable. This issue was resolved by raising the “a” in Broadmoor, thus making the name unique and it was copyrighted. (There is also “urban legend” to this story that surrounds Penrose riding his horse into the lobby of the Antlers hotel, owned by General Palmer’s estate, and offered to purchase it. He was declined. The legend goes that he raised the “a” as a putdown to the Antlers.) • The New York firm Warren and Wetmore designed The BROADMOOR, the same architects that designed Grand Central Station. • Frederick Law Olmsted’s firm, most famous for designing Central Park, designed The Broadmoor’s grounds • The friezes that decorate the exterior of The BROADMOOR were designed and executed by famous artist Paul Deneville. • On the Mezzanine of the Main Building, in the Center Lounge, see if you can spot the intentional error in the man dancing on the ceiling—look at his feet! • When The Broadmoor was being constructed, gold tailings from the processed ore from Cripple Creek was used in making the cement for the main structure of The Broadmoor.
