The Fitzroy Place is a historic home in Denver, Colorado. Completed in 1893, it was designed by Fuller and Wheeler, New York architects, and was built in the Richardsonian Romanesque style that was extremely popular on the American West Coast. The architects were noted for the numerous educational buildings they designed in the United States and overseas. Elizabeth Iliff Warren, widow of John Wesley Iliff, a successful cattle baron and Denver philanthropist, commissioned the mansion. John Wesley died in 1878 of gall bladder obstruction, leaving Elizabeth, at 34, with four children, cattle, and a land empire. The Fitzroy Mansion was named on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975 and designated a Denver Historic Landmark in 2008.
