Russell & Elinor Gates Mansion
Denver County
The 1892 dwelling is associated with merchant Russell Gates and his wife, Elinor. Gates established a series of successful mercantile and related businesses in Elbert and El Paso counties.
These enterprises catered to ranchers and farmers by offering general merchandise along with building supplies, dairy products, hotel rooms, and even mortician services. The house is an excellent example of the Shingle style of residential design and exhibits elements of the contemporaneous Richardsonian Romanesque style in its stone lower story and distinctive arches.
