 HOVERHOME--a
Tudor-style home captures a disappearing rural life in Longmont.
Colorado trades on its frontier days: hard-drinking miners, saloon brawls and
mountain men. Less obvious is the backlash of respectability that flooded the
state between the years of 1880 to 1920. Tea at the Brown Palace in Denver?
Perhaps an elegant suite at the Jerome in Aspen, or Shakespearean readings at
the Chautauqua in Boulder?
No culture appealed quite so keenly to Colorado settlers as the gentility of
the British. Import the civilized culture of afternoon tea, perennial
flowerbeds, Shakespeare’s sonnets, English architectural styles--and surely,
the West would be tamed.
