Admission Not Included
Poets Row
With its Art Deco architecture, each home on the block was named after a different writer or poet, bringing about a world of charm. From this location you will get a great view of the Colorado State Capitol, as an added bonus. Poets Row is the heart of the Sherman Street Historic District, which was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2004. Plus I will tell all of the sordid tales that took place on this block...
1128 Grant St
The Peabody-Whitehead Mansion, one of the two most haunted houses in Denver, the other appearing later on our tour. I shall tell you the history of this house and it's residents and the stories of all the spooky happenings here.
1244 Grant St
The Creswell Mansion, now the Marijuana Mansion, due to it's place in history in legalizing Marijuana, is a fascinating stop on our tour. From it's history, to it's eclectic design, to the many ghost stories that seem to surround it.
Capitol Hill Mansion Bed & Breakfast Inn
This beautiful, historic property is a photographer's dream. Illuminated lighting gives this place an ethereal feel. Located in the most haunted neighborhood in Colorado, this place has a story to tell and I will tell them... This elegant Richardsonian Romanesque and Queen Anne residence was one of the last homes constructed before the Silver Crash of 1893.
1165 Pennsylvania St
The Pennborough, once twin mansions, they were purchased by the infamous Dr Tilden, and a wing built to join them and the entire complex then served as a tuberculosis home. I shall tell the stories of the strange goings on here.
Patterson Inn
Also known as the The Croke-Patterson Mansion, this is the second of the two most haunted houses in Denver. Get comfy on this corner because there are so many tales to tell, so many restless spirits to speak of...
Colburn Hotel & Apartments
If these walls could talk...this place was the epicenter of Denver's former bohemian period. This former hotel became the playground of the Hollywood elite, as well as eccentric poets, such as Jack Kerouac (famous writer of the book and movie, entitled "On the Road"), Neil Cassidy, Allen Ginsberg, and James Burroughs. Stories of haunts are often talked about, by former and current employees of the notorious Denver bar, Charlie Brown's, which is located on property. Since 1928 this bar has virtually stayed the same. This is one of the favorite stops for the likes of Bill Murray and Tony Bennett. I shall tell you all the history and stories about this place and our tour ends here... may I suggest a cocktail in the haunted bar...
