Fisher Mansion



Two blocks from the Cathedral, on 16th and Logan is a mansion that I find interesting to look at as I go to work. The Fisher Mansion is mostly made of an unknown sandstone. To me the yellowish color is unusual for Colorado.



The columns supporting the fence are made of Silver Plume Granite. This gray granite is one of Colorado’s oldest exposed rocks, at around 1,400 billion years old and is found near Silver Plume on I-70.


Here's a close up of the granite.
