Lorraine Lodge / Charles Boettcher Summer Home

Jefferson County

Situated on a 62-acre site on Lookout Mountain, Lorraine Lodge was built during 1916-18 for Charles Boettcher, one of Colorado’s pioneer capitalists, as a summer residence and seasonal hunting lodge.  The two-story residence, incorporating the Rustic and Tudor styles, is an outstanding example of Arts and Crafts design as interpreted by noted Denver architects, William E. and Arthur A. Fisher.

The property was donated to Jefferson County in 1968 by Boettcher’s granddaughter, Charline Breeden.  In 1974, the lodge, associated buildings, and grounds underwent rehabilitation and began operating as the Jefferson County Conference and Nature Center.
