Details |
Jarvis Hall was a liberal arts, grammar and military college in Golden, Colorado, spearheaded by Episcopal missionary Bishop George Maxwell Randall in 1869. It was named after its greatest benefactor George A. Jarvis from Boston. It was first located as the centerpiece of the Colorado University Schools campus, which blew down in a windstorm whiel under construction in 1869. It was rebuilt in 1870. 1878 - Jarvis Hall also takes refuge in Loveland Block with the School of Mines after Jarvis Hall and Matthews Hall are destroyed by fire on original campus. Prof. Thomas Lloyd Bellam builds new Jarvis Hall still standing at today's 921 19th Street, which he converts to a coed institution accepting Golden's first female collegiate students. Mines returns to original building in 1879, then moves to permanent campus in 1880. Meanwhile Denver interests in Episcopal church create rival Jarvis Hall college in Denver and competing colleges continue until 1882 when Denver powers succeed in locating Jarvis Hall there. Bellam remains in Golden, also becoming prominent in new role as rector of Calvary Church. The building still stands at 921 19th St at Cheyenne as a private residence. |
