| The Historic Bailey
Mansion |
 The
beautiful Bailey Mansion, located at the corner of 16th Street
and Ogden is an excellent example of the rich and flavorful history
of Denver's once prominent gold and silver mining influence.
When George B. Bailey commissioned architect William
Lang to design the Bailey Mansion back in 1889,
he would have no idea the impact the structure would eventually
have on defining this period in Denver's history. Mr. Lang was
a very popular architect among Denver's elite residents, and
designed many other famous Denver homes including the Molly Brown
House.
When the house was completed in 1891 it was
touted as being a wonderful collection of Queen Anne architecture,
Longmont sandstone exterior, and an interior elaborately trimmed
and finished in a variety of hard woods including butternut,
oak, cherry, bird's eye maple and ash. In 1978 the mansion and
adjacent carriage house, now the largest remaining structure
designed by Lang, was placed on the national Register of Historic
Places and is part of the Swallow Hill Historic District. The
Bailey mansion is considered by many one of the most historic
homes in America.
The prominent place in history reserved for
this beautiful property is now being shared by one of Denver's
oldest and most experienced personal injury law firms. For
more than a quarter of a century, The
Flukes Law Firm has developed a strong and trusted
reputation in Denver as an advocate for the rights of the injured
person.
The Flukes Law Firm is proud
to call such a beautiful and historic a place as the Bailey Mansion
our home. The ideas that William Lang used when designing
this architectural masterpiece are the same ones that Michael
Flukes drew upon when he started his law practice in Denver so
long ago- Build something
unique and special, that stands out from the rest of the crowd.
Something to be proud of that will withstand the test of time
and will be remembered as a symbol of strength and perseverance
for as long as it shall stand.
