Personally, I wouldn't...but I'm a bit more superstitious. I won't go near a Ouija board. The less I have to do with the supernatural the better.

That thought has crossed my mind as well, as a completely separate venture. In that case, you could valet park the cars and eliminate that problem, and this place would rock as a haunted B&B. You'd have to reconfigure some bathrooms and add some to make it work, but that's doable. It'd just add some more cost, and I think you could only have about 10 or 12 guest rooms anyway, so I'd have to run some numbers.

If this was in KC you might be screwed as I'd be figuring out a way to make it work. Stunningly cool property. I collect/buy/sell antiques hence the Christies and Sothebys connections. Doubt there is any crossover between real estate and auctions. My collections would look awesome in there and I'd have the worlds coolest antique showroom. Maybe I could rent your carriage house :)

Yep, check this place out in St. Louis. Same idea: http://www.lempmansion.com/

I saw that one on TV. It belonged to a family of brewers with a tradition of suicide.

If I opened the bed & breakfast, you could display your antiques there for sale. Win-win.

I thought I saw somewhere recently that you lived in Colorado. No? I had thought you were a KC guy and was surprised by reading what I thought was a Colorado reference. Maybe I misread.

Yep, that and early deaths is the short story of it all.

If you don't buy it now you'll be a scaredy cat.

No matter what the reason is you come up with.

If you buy it, you could throw a Draft party there. Then after the draft, have a CP lock-in. Start by telling scary stories, then play a game where the first person to jump out of a 3rd story window loses.....then everyone else can have s'mores.

No KC always. I found a awesome link that shows almost every room. I'm not sure how you didn't piss your pants as cool as this place was. If I buy it and live in the 3rd floor you want to rent the lower 2 levels from me :) I can have my antique store in the carriage house

Hey RainMan, I haven't read all of the posts here, but have you been asked if somebody has croked in that property?
:p

So I really thought this place could be a great B&B if you could solve the parking issues. You could put a neighborhood coffee place in the front lobby and clean up as long as poltergeists didn't start killing people.

My wife wouldn't let me buy it, so some other people bought it for a song and are turning it into a B&B. Great move.

However, there still is that haunting issue: http://www.denverpost.com/news/ci_20923857

Denver fire crews race to Croke-Patterson mansion on Capitol Hill

Denver fire crews rushed to protect one of the city's oldest houses early Saturday morning after the famed Croke-Patterson Mansion caught fire.

The Denver Fire Department responded to smoke streaming from a second-floor window, on the northeast side of the house, at about 12:39 a.m., said Division Chief Steven Garrod.

Crews used an engine ladder to get into the mansion.

The fire appears to have started in a second-floor bedroom, Garrod said. Firefighters were able to contain the fire to the bedroom and quickly extinguish it.

The cause of the fire is under investigation. The house is currently under renovation and various construction materials were present.

More than seven engines, along with paramedics, arrived at the scene.

The house, a three-story, red sandstone mansion at 420 East 11th Avenue between Pennsylvania and Logan streets on Capitol Hill, was built in 1890. It has Denver, Colorado and national historic landmark designation.

But the house stood empty for several years as it shuttled in and out of ownership.

In recent months, the mansion was bought by C-P-C Mansion, LLC, and was being renovated into a bed and breakfast inn.

The house is also known as a stop on popular haunted house tours of the city.

The Croke-Patterson mansion is a "rare example of the use of Chateauesque style architecture in Denver," according to the Denver Library. Thomas B. Croke, a merchant, experimental plant breeder and state senator first lived in the house.

He later sold it to Thomas M. Patterson, a Colorado territorial and state congressman and senator who later worked as editor and publisher of the Rocky Mountain News until 1913.

That place looks awesome. I would in a second if I could afford it. Hauntings are bullshit.

Didn't read it all. Sucks about the fire.
