The Queen Hotel
1402 Miner Street

Michael B. Graeff built a two- story wooden structure at this site in 1880. It immediately became the town’s most popular hotel – the Hotel de Paris, partly because it was the closest to the Railroad Depot. The hotel was destroyed by fire that same year and was replaced by the “Queen”, built of brick, (which was also known as the SCHILLER, the Woodward and the Portland hotels).

It was renovated and dedicated as a senior citizens’ center in 1978. Additional remodeling and the construction of a senior center apartment complex at the location was completed and ready for Occupancy on November 1, 1986.

This building has an intricate pattern of brick work on the upper story, brick arched windows and decorated frieze.

J. H. Warner House
1714 Miner Street
paid $250

This property was deeded to J. H. Warner in November of 1873 from Robert B. Griswold, mayor and President of the Board of Trustees of the town of Idaho Springs. Warner constructed the house the following year.

In 1895, this house was known as the Mountain View Hotel, serving as one of the community’s boarding houses. However, in 1896 the building was sold to Alexander H. Colburn, a prominent mining man of the area, again functioning as a home. In 1906, Colburn sold the property to the Idaho Springs Masonic Temple #26. This is one of the oldest homes in Idaho Springs and still appears as it did when it was first built. The house changed owners numerous times throughout the years, often reverting to the Idaho Springs Masonic Lodge, possibly due to non-payment of taxes. house has been owned by the same family for the latter half of the twentieth century.

This house represents a vernacular style of architecture, meaning that it was constructed not according to a particular architectural style, but rather according to local traditions and climate. The two-story portion of the house is made of clapboard, as is the gabled roof.

Preston Geddes and Erma Loose Peterson lived in this home from 1911 to 1945 when Preston passed away. Preston was born in Preston, Idaho in 1884 and attended Utah State Agricultural College. He taught animal husbandry at BYU for a while. In 1909 he married Erma Loose, the daughter of Col. C. E. Loose. For most of Preston’s life he worked for mining businesses with his father-in-law and often served as secretary-treasurer. He was a member and chair of the Utah State Road Commission for eighteen years, serving under five governors. When he died in 1945 he was working as the manager of a high mine in Idaho. Erma continued to live in the home for a few years after Preston’s death. Then doctors John M. Bowen and Rex T. Thomas had their medical offices in the home and rented the basement. In 1967 Howard F. Hatch housed his Equitable Realty business here. He moved the business and in 1969 he operated Kiddie Kollege dry nursery from this home. During the 1970s and 1980s Dawn and Lawrence W. Newson lived and ran Lia ona Pre-School in this home.

1153 2nd Avenue

Designed by S.W. Sears, this ‘box’ or foursquare type house with neoclassical detailing was built in 1905 by L.W. Riter for Noble Warrum, a prominent local journalist and historian. A non-Mormon from Indiana, Warrum was also active in politics, serving as a probate judge, a member of the Utah Constitutional Convention and a Utah state senator. The large, two-story examples of the foursquare were popular in Utah cities from about 1900 to 1920 and represent a clear rejection of the eclectic irregularity of the Victorian styles.
