Description
The Brown Palace Hotel at the intersection of 18th & Broadway in Denver, Colorado, was built in 1892 and is the second-longest operating hotel in Denver, second only to the Oxford Hotel. It has accommodated many famous, as well as infamous people including Molly Brown, who survived the sinking of the Titanic and stayed at the Brown one week later, The Beatles, Teddy Roosevelt, Harry Truman, and many other dignitaries.
Remembering back to my teenage years brings to mind my dad taking us to the "Ship's Tavern Restaurant" inside the Brown Palace Hotel where we dined on fabulous prime rib.
The hotel was the site of the high profile 1911 murders in which Frank Henwood shot and killed Sylvester Louis "Tony" von Phul, and accidentally killed an innocent bystander, George Copeland, in the hotel's "Marble Bar." Henwood and von Phul were rivals for (or shared) the affections of Denver socialite Isabel Springer, the wife of wealthy Denver businessman and political candidate John W. Springer. The murders culminated in a series of very public trials". Quote from Wikipedia
