The Beaumont was built in 1886, abandoned from 1967 to 1998, and restored from 1998 to 2003. Presidents and celebrities gave it fame, and Dan and Mary King gave it life as its owners and restorers. Its restoration received the inaugural Presidential Preserve America Awards in 2003, the inaugural Colorado Governor's Award in 2003, the National Trust Preservation Award, and recognition at the National Trust Awards Ceremony in 2004. Dan and Mary King declared that their passion for the Beaumont and Ouray would endure.
