Stoiber-Reed-Humphreys Mansion
The Stoiber-Reed-Humphreys Mansion (a.k.a. ''Stoiberhof'') is located at 1022 Humboldt Street in Denver Colorado. It is designated by the National Register of Historic Places as a landmark on December 29, 1978. It is described as follows by the National Register. "A very large three story house at the S. E. corner of the Humboldt Island district; glass and metal canopy over the front door; balustrades eaves; dormers; walled yard and basement swimming pool."
The mansion was built in 1907 with building materials of tan brick and tile roofing. The builders were Desjarden & Hanjansy and the architects of the house were Marean & Norton, who also designed the mansion used today for the Governor's place of Residence. The architectural style back then was the 20th century Second Renaissance Revival. This very large renaissance Mannerist Revival house with more than forty rooms is Humboldt Island's most impressive and imposing residence. It is one of only five existing homes in Denver of this grand size and quality. The house is notable for its majestic scale, exterior and interior. The old mansion is structured on the western end of a park called Cheesman Park and this area of Denver, Colorado is said to be haunted according to several writings found on the Internet.
The architectural heritage of the nation, as well as structures important to its history, is worthy of preservation. Such structures provide continuity of our past; they are essential to understanding and appreciation of and identity with that heritage. We feel this house is an important piece of our Denver history. It is an unusually elegant structure built in a time when Denver was still a frontier town.
==Name of the Mansion==
The name printed on the metal plate to the left of the main entrance is ''Stoiberhof''. But over the years, the mansion has often been referred to as the Stoiber-Reed-Humphreys Mansion. This name may have been based on mistaken information. The first owners of the mansion were Ed and Lena Stoiber, tycoons of the Silver Lake Mine in Silverton CO. They named their mansion ''Stoiberhof''. Ed Stoiber died in 1906 and Lena Stoiber married Hugh R. Rood, a wealthy businessman from Seattle in 1909. Hugh Rood died during a return trip from Europe in 1912 in the sinking of the RMS Titanic, making Lena Allen-Stoiber-Rood a widow for the third, but not last, time in her life. Shortly thereafter, Lena sold the house to A. E. Humphreys. The first three owners of ''Stoiberhof'' were the Stoiber, Rood, and Humphreys families. Over the years, the name Reed may have been substituted for the name Rood, the most likely reason being that Egbert W. Reed owned the house next door to ''Stoiberhof'' at 1040 Humboldt Street (). The Reeds moved to California in 1912 ().
