Downs - San Francisco, CA HISTORY OF THE BROADMOOR The current resort was built in 1918 by Spencer Penrose, a Philadelphia entrepreneur. The earlier clientele came to view both the beauty of Pikes Peak as well as inhale the mountain air which was believed to assist in recuperation from tuberculosis. The Broadmoor hotel has a long and colorful history. The Broadmoor was built on what was originally corn and wheat land and a dairy farm. A small hotel and casino were built on the property in the late 1800s. Spencer Penrose began his plans to build a hotel on the site in 1916. An architect was selected and construction began in 1917. The hotel opened June 29, 1918 at a total cost of over $2 million. Before the 1919 Prohibition went into effect, Penrose stockpiled large amounts of wine and liquor and stored them in freight train cars, in the basement of his home and in the hotel. In 1925, Stacy A. Broman, Chair [email protected] Summer 2013 Penrose purchased and modernized the Manitou and Pikes Peak Cog Railway. In 1926, construction began on the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo. A polo field and riding arena were also built. In 1938, the Will Rogers Shrine and Will Rogers Stadium were built. Penrose died December 7, 1939. During World War II, the Broadmoor facilities were made available to the military at reduced cost. Ski facilities were added in 1959. In 1995, the Broadmoor hosted the 50th Anniversary of the U.S. Women’s Open. In 2000, The Broadmoor set a record earning Mobile Travel Guide’s five star rating for 40 years. TIPS AND TRIVIA FROM MY TWO PARTNERS WHO JUST RETURNED FROM COLORADO SPRINGS 1. Bring a light jacket as it frequently cools down in the evening 2. It also frequently rains for a short time in the afternoon. 3. If you drive to the top of Pikes Peak: • There is a charge to drive up to the top -- $40/carload of up to 5 adults. • Make sure you have at least half a tank of gas first. The last stop to fill up is Manitou Springs (worth stopping at). • Plan on at least two and a half hours to get up and back. • It is about 50 degrees at the top, so bring a warm jacket. • Many are quite affected by the altitude at the top and the unnerving drive up there so it would be good to go with another driver. • Be sure to get some of the famous altitude donuts at the top. • Use lowest gear on the way down. • Halfway down you will be stopped for a brake temperature check. Most drivers are asked to pull into parking and let brakes cool for 30 minutes. • Watch your small children at the top of the Peak as there are overlooks without railings. 4. Seven Falls is worth seeing. 5. Visit the "hippie" community of Manitou Springs for lots of interesting shops. It is also known for having the U.S.’s largest covenant of people who identify themselves as witches. 2 Summer 2013 6. Garden of the Gods is a must. Go in the morning when it is cool. Lots of relatively easy hiking. You can also just drive through and stop at pull offs. http://www.gardenofgods.com/home/index.cfm?flash=0 OR Facebook at “The Official Garden of the Gods Park Page.” 7. Drink water. Lots of water. 8. Everyone thinks Pikes Peak is the tallest mountain in the Colorado Rockies and it is not even close. There are a lot of “14ers” and Pike’s Peak is the 31st tallest peak of those. The reason it is famous, and it is often climbed by hikers, is that it is one of the few of the tall peaks that is essentially on the high plains of Colorado so it has unbelievable views in all directions. It is the easternmost fourteener. 9. Have fun! BROADMOOR TRIVIA Taken from www.Broadmoor.com. • John D. Rockefeller was the Broadmoor’s first celebrity guest June 1, 1918. However, he and his wife moved to the Antler’s Hotel after being overcome by paint fumes. • Spencer Penrose encouraged the artist of the famed Maxfield Parrish painting to put the lake in front of the hotel. • During the hotel’s first decade, a room with a private bath, twin beds and three meals a day cost $14 per day. • Before the building of the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo, zoo animals were kept on the hotel grounds. One animal was a camel named Ethel Volstead. Spencer Penrose was strongly anti-prohibition. The 1919 Volstead Act enacted Prohibition. • In 1952, the hotel purchased two sea lions with the purpose of depleting the lake of the excess population of goldfish. Irate guests complained about the noise and wandering sea lions. The sea lions had required saltwater fish, not goldfish. Barrels of saltwater fish were then flown in daily to keep the sea lions satisfied. • In the 1960s, waterskiing was available on the lake. The original Broadmoor pool was the largest indoor pool in the west when it opened in 1918. The indoor pool closed in 1961. • A ceiling detail located in the main mezzanine has a male dancer with two right feet. 3 Summer 2013 • Tessie the elephant was brought to Colorado Springs in 1926 and provided rides to hotel guests. When she passed away in 1936, she was to be mounted and put on display at the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo, but she disappeared. • Spencer Penrose’s original idea was to name the Will Rogers Shrine of the Sun after himself, but was convinced to name it after his dear friend. Will Rogers is not buried there. • The Tavern Restaurant was opened to accommodate the demise of the Prohibition. • Pikes Peak was the inspiration for “America the Beautiful.” • During a 2002 renovation, Spencer Penrose’s wine collection was stored away to preserve the original dust. • In 2002, a 1961 World Championship Figure Skating pin, which was thought to have been destroyed following the deaths of the entire U.S. team, was discovered in the walk in fault of the hotel. 4 Summer 2013 WINTER MEETING 2014 Marco Island Marriott Marco Island, Florida March 1 - 8, 2014 The Winter 2014 meeting will be held at the newly remodeled Marco Island Marriott.

  • 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.

  • The Complete History of the Old North End Neighborhood in Colorado Springs, Colorado
    THE COMPLETE HISTORY OF THE OLD NORTH END NEIGHBORHOOD IN COLORADO SPRINGS, COLORADO by Robert D. Loevy Professor of Political Science Colorado College August 1, 2010 1. Early Stirrings As a part of a concept in a man's mind, the Old North End Neighborhood came into existence on July 27, 1869. On that day, William Jackson Palmer first rode into a spectacular red rock area just to the north of Colorado City, Colorado Territory. Even at that early date the area was known as the Garden of the Gods. Palmer had been a General in the Union Army during the Civil War. A railroad builder, he had come to the Garden of the Gods while surveying a railroad route from Kansas City to Denver. General Palmer described the area, which had glorious views of 14,000 feet- high Pike's Peak, as "enticing." He noted its potential to become a "famous resort." And he wrote that "the scenery is even finer south of Denver than north of it."1 At that moment, General Palmer resolved to build a new city on a low, broad mesa top located to the east of the Garden of the Gods. The name of the new city was to be Colorado Springs, and the Old North End would become one of its finest residential neighborhoods. General Palmer hired Robert A. Cameron to serve as the first city planner of Colorado Springs. In a letter to Cameron written in December of 1871, Palmer described one of his main ideas for what his new city should be like.

An Accurate and Enjoyable Book on Spencer Penrose!By Christie L. WrightJoyce B. Lohse has left no literary stone unturned in her new book on the Colorado Springs benefactor, Spencer Penrose. Her research is extensive, which shines through in her details about Penrose, his family, his accomplishments and legacy. Joyce begins with Penrosersquo;s childhood and his parentrsquo;s influence as well as his siblingrsquo;s. After Penrose moved to Colorado, he became a prosperous mine owner and settled in Colorado Springs; the city received innumerable gifts from Spencer and his wife, Julie both during their lifetimes and posthumously.Having lived in Colorado Springs for many years, it is my observation that Penrosersquo;s legacy (the Broadmoor, the Will Rogers Shrine and the El Pomar Foundation to name a few) is still quite visible and that these institutions continue to thrive and contribute to the public. Joyce brings these accomplishments and other important details out to her audience in a way that is a factual and very enjoyable read.

Hybl 223 El Pomar Trustees 225 Bibliography 235 Index 249 1 Philadelphia THE PIKES PEAK PARTNERSHIP of Spencer Penrose and Charles L. Tutt Sr. had its roots in Philadelphia. Both were sons of Philadelphia physicians, and both were born at the close of the Civil War. The men were blue bloods, but they had different family and financial circumstances. Penrose was the fourth-eldest of six sons. His older brothers, Boies, Charles, and Richard, earned Harvard degrees and distinction in the fields of politics, medicine, and geology. Spencer also graduated from Harvard, where he distinguished himself for drinking beer. Charles L. Tutt enjoyed a less privileged upbringing. His father, Dr. Charles P. Tutt Jr., died, leaving his two-year-old son to be raised by his mother and grandfather. He went to work at age 17. His poor health led him to seek a cure in the Colorado climate as a young man. Renewed by the high, dry, sunny Colorado atmosphere, he used his connections with the Penrose brothers to unearth an unforeseen bonanza. The Penroses traced their American origins to Bartholomew Penrose, who arrived in Philadelphia in 1698.
