Gebhard Mansion

Denver County

Located within the San Rafael Historic District, the well-preserved 1883 Gebhard Mansion is considered to be one of Denver’s finest residential examples of the Italianate style.  The hipped roof of the two-story brick building is accented with several decorative gables and there is a deep bracketed cornice.

The facade features an elaborate porch and a prominent two-story corner bay topped with a conical roof.  The original owner, Henry Gebhard, organized the Colorado Packing Provision Company in 1890, an enterprise that soon became the largest packer of pork and beef in Colorado.
