The Denver architectural firm of Fisher and Fisher designed the Georgian style house for Lawrence C. Phipps in 1932. Phipps amassed a fortune as an executive of Carnegie Steel before moving to Denver in 1901 where he became a leader in public affairs.
Serving two terms as a U.S. Senator, Phipps also built the Agnes Memorial Sanatarium for the treatment of tuberculosis, actively promoted Fitzsimons Army Hospital, built the auditorium wing of the Denver Museum of Natural History, and played a major role in the Moffat Tunnel project. The estate includes eleven acres with various outbuildings including a greenhouse, the Tennis House, and garden areas.
