Glen Eyrie Castle in Colorado Springs, Colorado

            Glen Eyrie Castle is a 67-room English Tudor-style mansion built in 1871 by General William Jackson Palmer, the founder of Colorado Springs. It was his wife’s dream home and is located on a beautiful 800 acre estate in the western foothills. The original structure was remodeled in 1881 to include a tower, 24 fireplaces and additional rooms. It was made to resemble a stone castle, reminiscent of those native to England.  
The Palmer family sold the estate in 1953. It is now used as conference center with 7 meeting rooms, 2 dining rooms and 17 guest rooms. In 1975 Glen Eyrie was added to the National Register of Historic Places.
