Molly Brown House

Denver’s Molly Brown House, also known as the House of Lions, is a late-19th-century residence designed by William A. Lang and completed in 1889. Best known as the longtime home of Margaret Brown, it is associated with her philanthropy, activism, and public fame after surviving the RMS Titanic. The house later served several changing uses, including a boarding house, rooming house, settlement house, and apartments, before severe deterioration threatened it with demolition by 1970. Citizens organized Historic Denver, Inc. to save and restore it, using research and historic photographs. Since 1971, it has operated as a museum and stands as both a Margaret Brown site and a preservation landmark.
