EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning photograph captures the beauty and history of the Maxwell House, a fine example of Carpenters Gothic architecture in the heart of Georgetown, Colorado. Built in 1870 for Thomas Maxwell, a mining engineer, the house was a symbol of wealth and prosperity during the Pikes Peak Gold Rush. The intricate timber framing and wooden details showcase the craftsmanship and ingenuity of the pioneer builders of the time. The tower and decorative elements, added in 1891 by B.F. Potter, further enhance the Victorian elegance of the house. The Maxwell House stands as a testament to the rich history and cultural significance of Georgetown during the 19th century. The town, located in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains, was a hub of mining activity and attracted thousands of settlers seeking their fortune in silver and gold. The photograph transports us back in time, allowing us to imagine the daily life of the residents of Georgetown during the gold rush era. The Maxwell House, with its towering spires and ornate woodwork, continues to be a beloved landmark and a reminder of Colorado's pioneer past.
