Teacher Resource Set Teacher Resource Set Title Stanley Hotel Developed by Laura Israelsen, Teacher Librarian, Hulstrom Options School Michelle Pearson, Teacher, Century Middle School Grade Level 3-5 Essential Question How did F.O. Stanley contribute to the development of Estes Park and leave a lasting impact on Colorado through his inventions? Why does the Stanley Hotel play an iconic role in the landscape of upper Estes Park? What social and economic decisions caused people to relocate and travel to Estes Park? How have past events at the Stanley Hotel influenced present day Colorado? How have people interacted with the environment over time in a positive or negative way? How does the architecture of the Stanley Hotel represent a time period in United States history that is reflected in other national parks and tourist locations? Contextual Paragraph Freelan Oscar Stanley (1849-1940) was an inventor and a visionary. He and his twin brother, Francis Edgar, developed the Stanley Steam Car. F.O. Stanley came to Colorado in 1903 with a diagnosis of tuberculosis expecting to live only three months. He survived an additional 37 years. In the years he spent in Colorado, he not only established and built the iconic Stanley Hotel, but was responsible for the development of the site of Estes Park. His involvement in the region extended to the development of the road systems, financing the water system, and the launch of a major advertising campaign to bring tourists to the city via Stanley motor coaches which traveled through the canyon from Lyons. Known as a resort hotel, the Stanley was a “draw” to tourists from across the nation looking for a comfortable and luxurious experience in the Colorado Rockies at the turn of the 20th century. Today, the hotel remains prominent in the built environment of Estes Park. “Its buildings are notable for their horizontal lines and extreme symmetry of different design elements combined with classical detail and ornamentation. This 19th century expression of Georgian architecture combined with classical elements is…unique to the Estes Park area.” (from: National Register Nomination Form). The hotel has been a host to contemporary travelers and moviemakers and 1 Teacher Resource Set is well-known today as the setting for the movie based on Stephen King's novel The Shining. It was originally listed in the National Register of Historic Places in May of 1977.The nomination was updated to establish a larger National Register District in 1985. The Nomination update added additional land surrounding the property, which was contained in F.O. Stanley’s original purchase, and significant service buildings (described below) which were built in 1909 to 1912 west of the hotel. These service buildings all face east toward the hotel, except for the Boiler House which faces south. They are architecturally compatible with the main buildings by the symmetry of their design elements, by their Georgian Revival features, and by their forms and materials. The northernmost of those buildings is the North Dormitory, a two story frame building, rectangular in plan with a hipped roof. The South Dormitory is very similar to its neighbor, although slightly larger. The Manager's Cottage is located between the Laundry Building and the Hotel. It was originally L-shaped in plan, but an addition at the south corner, where there had originally been a porch, has made the present plan rectangular. The house is two story frame with a hipped roof over the original building and a flat roof on the addition. This is the only building on site for which symmetry was not the primary design characteristic. The Gatekeeper's House was moved to its present site south of the Manager's Cottage in 1926. Prior to that it sat at the bottom of the hill in the town of Estes Park. It is a one and one half story frame house with a gable roof running parallel to the front facade. The Maintenance Building is located to the north of the Manor House. It is a one story frame building with a hipped roof. Undistinguished by its architectural detailing, it nonetheless fits comfortably into the district. 2 Teacher Resource Set Resource Set Hotel Stanley, Estes Stanley Hostess The Stanley Hotel in Stanley Chalets Chevrolet New Stanley Hotel, Park Estes Park, CO Employees Dinner at Estes Park, CO Stanley Manor View of the Hotel A woman employed The Stanley Hotel in View of a billboard on A group of Chevrolet Exterior view of Stanley in Estes Park, by the Stanley Hotel Estes Park, a town on the Boulder - employees pose on Stanley Hotel under CO (completed in poses outdoors the eastern edge of Longmont Road in the steps on the construction, Estes 1909); complex probably near Estes Rocky Mountain Denver, CO.

  • The Stanley Hotel History
    The Stanley Hotel History: The property of the Stanley hotel was a favorite of Mr. Windham Thomas Whydham‐Quin the fourth Earl of Dunraven. He would come to the area for his summer hunting. “Lord Dunraven” wanted to put a Hunting lodge and game preserve. Wyndham Thomas Quinn the 4th Earl of Dunraven Dunraven hired some local Agents and purchased 15,000 acres from the U.S. Government. Soon after the purchase there were claims filed by twenty‐one different parties including Mr. R.Q. McGregor. They all claimed that Dunraven had no right to the land because he was not a U.S. citizen. Mr. Dunraven lost the property due to the claims of Mr. McGregor. F.O. Stanley A local who wanted to purchase the land for himself had hired R.Q. McGregor. This was Mr. Freelan Oscar Stanley. Freelan Oscar (F.O.) Stanley was born in 1849; he was diagnosed with tuberculosis in 1903 and was told to move to Colorado because the “fresh mountain air” would help his condition. Mr. Stanley and his wife moved to a home located at 1401 Gilpin St in Denver. After a month in Denver, he was showing no signs of change. Arrangements were made for him to visit a friend’s cabin in Estes Park. Mr. & Mrs. Stanley fell in love with the area and in 1904 purchased 8.4 acres of their own. F.O. Stanley’s sister Flora Jane Record Tileston, who would become Mrs. Stanley (1848‐1949) was an active member of the community, she was known for dressing up as a Gypsy and doing fortune telling at fundraisers for the Estes Park Women’s Club They purchased the property with the assistance of Mr.

  • Rocky Mountain
    Rocky Mountain Administrative History CHAPTER XII: INHOLDINGS, CONCESSIONS AND BOUNDARY EXTENSIONS When created in 1915, Rocky Mountain National Park contained within its 229,062 acres of land over 11,000 acres of private inholdings. These inholdings consisted primarily of patented lands, based on Homestead, Timber and Stone, and Pre-emption entries, and of a number of irrigation ditches, reservoirs and mineral claims in the name of private parties and corporations. [1] On the west side of the Continental Divide, the private land holdings extended from Lulu City to Grand Lake. On the east side they were located principally in Moraine Park, Hallowell Park, and Beaver Meadows. Most of the land suitable for human use, including every meadow, was privately owned. Then as a result of subsequent boundary extensions, an additional 2,000 acres of private land became incorporated within the Park. Yet by 1965, the total amount of inholdings had been reduced through government purchases and exchanges to 2,300 acres. [2] What follows is the story of the land purchases, the boundary extensions and adjustments, and the people affected by these actions during the Park's first 50 years. A subordinate part of the story concerns changes in Park concession policies and some road building activities made possible or necessary by land and visitor developments. Initially, the Park administration granted permits for continued operation of the six hotels, lodges and camps that had operated on federal land when the Park lands had been part of the Colorado National Forest. [3] At the same time, there were nine other hotels within the Park's boundaries, all located on private property and therefore not under the jurisdiction of the National Park Service.
