The house was built by Crawford Hill and his wife Louise Sneed Hill in 1906 at the corner of Tenth and Sherman Streets.[2][5] The Hill family fortune having been made in the smelting industry. Louise Sneed Hill was the reigning head of Denver society who snubbed Jews and Catholics.[3] The mansion was later home to the Jewish Town Club and in 1990 it was restored as law offices[3] for Haddon, Morgan & Foreman. The restoration resolved issues that arose due to years of neglect and previous poor restoration efforts, and prevented the building from being demolished.[4]
In 2022, the historic house was purchased by the Salazar Family Foundation which was founded by Rob and Lola Salazar in 1999.
