HOTEL ST. NICHOLAS - Key Persons

At the turn of the century one of the leading Denver architects was British-born and trained John J. Huddart. Noted for his Classical Revival and Richardsonian Romanesque-style designs, his many landmarks included the Charles Boettcher House in Denver, Colorado's Fort Morgan State Armory, Denver's Filbeck Building, and six Colorado county courthouses. Huddart's work for the Catholic Church's Denver Archdiocese included Denver's St. Thomas Theological Seminary and Cripple Creek's Hotel St. Nicholas. Huddart's original drawings for the St. Nicholas, drawn in 1896, are displayed in the main lobby.
