It is fitting that Molly Brown’s house is now a museum, as not only is she well known for surviving the sinking of the Titanic, but she was also Denver’s first preservationist. In 1930 she purchased poet Eugene Field’s home and gave it to Denver. In 1970, Historic Denver, Inc. was founded to save Molly’s house from demolition. The 1889 stone Queen Anne has been restored to its 1910 appearance, since the interior was photographed during that year.
