History
The
Parkside Mansion was constructed in 1905 and originally known as the McPhee-McGinnity Mansion. Charles D. McPhee,
the son of Irish immigrants, moved to Denver in 1869 with his wife
Angela. He started a lumber company and had several partners before
John J. McGinnity became a partner in 1880.
McPhee
was a pioneer in the business community as the growth of his lumber
business paralleled the growth of Denver in the late 1800’s.
The McPhee & McGinnity Company was one of the most successful and
widely known businesses in the region and the largest manufacturing
company west of Chicago.
These
two socially prominent and philanthropic families were listed in the
Who’s Who and Social Registry in Denver for many years. Charles
McPhee left the home to John McGinnity, who then passed it on to
Charles’ son William.
It
is reminiscent of that bygone era with towering columns in the entry
way, arched leaded glass windows and rich paneled ceilings. Across
from Denver’s oldest and best
known park, City Park, the Parkside Mansion
offers the elegance and charm of the Victorian age with the modern
conveniences you need. Whether discussing the business of the day in
the parlor, or admiring the park from the rooftop patio, the historic
Parkside
Mansion will
make any event one to remember. |
