Information provided by donor on back of photograph: "This house was located at 1555 Sherman Street in Denver, one-half block north of the state capital. It was the residence of one-term US Senator (1907-1913) John Simon Guggenheim. At the end of his term, he returned to New York and rented the house to Colorado pioneer Albernt Eugene Reynolds who made several and lost a few fortunes in Colorado mining ventures. Reynolds subsequently agreed to purchase the hosue but had not completed the deal before his death in 1921. The sale was completed by his daughter and sole heir, Anna Earl Reynolds Morse and her husband, Braadish P. Morse who had been living in the house since their marriage in 1913. The morses raised their three children (Albert Reynolds, Eudorah Goodell and Ann) there. Bradish died in 1931; Anna continued to live there until the winter of 1948-49 when, with children long gone, she and her second husband, George Henry Garrey, moved to 1300 E. Seventh Ave. in Denver. The house, with its golden oak-paneled interior, red carpeting, numerous bedrooms, quarters for servants, and a third-floor ballroom, was demolished and replaced with a multi-story parking garage for the adjacent Farmer's Union building. More recently, the site has been used by the Colorado State motor pool. The photo was taken sometime between 1913 and 1930 based on changes that were made to the front porch around 1930.DonorMoore, Bill
