Wood-Morris-Bonfils House

National and State Register

Denver County

This circa 1910 house was designed by architects Maurice Biscoe and Henry Hewitt in the French Mediterranean Revival style. The walls are of stuccoed brick, and the roof is covered with clay tiles. The original mansion included fifteen rooms, and in 1928, an addition was completed.

The most prominent owners of the house were Guilford S. Wood, Andrew S. Hughes, and Helen Bonfils. Hughes left the house on his death to his daughter and son-in-law, Peter Randolph Morris. Wood, Hughes and Bonfils all made significant contributions to Denver as noted philanthropists and established charitable trusts that still operate in their names.
