This estate was home to the late Vernon F. and Ann Bonfoey Taylor, Denver socialites and important financial investors in the early days of Vail
Mountain. Vernon, a naval aviator during World War II, joined his father in the family business, Westhoma Oil Co., after the war. Ann Bonfoey,
was an alternate on the U.S. Ski Team, who later used her keen sense of style and fashion to launch her own trend-setting ski clothing line that
was featured on the pages of Vogue, Harpers Bazaar and Life Magazine. She and Vernon built the first ski home at Vail Resort along Rockledge
Road and often hosted elaborate dinner parties both in Vail and at the Taylor Estate in Denver. Guests included notable figures, celebrities,
and royalty such as Truman Capote, Gregory Peck, Gerald Ford, Henry Kissinger, Prince Philip and Princess Anne of Great Britain.
