Historic Denver Today
Margaret “Molly” Brown has been the subject of many books, movies, and stage productions, and has become one of Denver’s most intriguing legends. Margaret Brown was an amazing and spirited woman and became active in the women’s suffrage movement, labor reform efforts, and even survived the sinking of the Titanic! After her death in 1932 her Victorian home was sold and used for many different functions. By 1970 the house had fallen prey to deterioration and was in danger of being demolished. A group of concerned citizens incorporated themselves as Historic Denver, Inc. and fought to save and restore the Brown home. The Molly Brown House Museum, 1340 Pennsylvania Street, is a celebrated Denver landmark and has recently completed a $1 million-plus restoration. Learn more at www.mollybrown.org.
