he Stanley Hotel National Register

District contains eleven contributing

buildings including the main hotel, a

concert hall, carriage house and The Lodge,

a smaller bed-and-breakfast originally called

Stanley Manor. The buildings were designed

by F.O. Stanley with the professional assistance

of Denver architect T. Robert Wieger and

contractor Frank Kirchoff. The main building is a

steel-frame structure with wood cladding resting

upon a granite masonry foundation. The Griffith

sawmill near Bierstadt Lake and Stanley's own

Hidden Valley lumber operation, located in the

future national park, supplied framing material.

The building of the hotel brought about the

construction of a hydroelectric power

plant which brought electricity to Estes

Park for the first time in 1909. in 1906.
