Pioneer Park (Aspen, Colorado)

Pioneer Park, also known as the Henry Webber House, is a historic brick structure in Aspen, Colorado, built in the 1880s during the Colorado Silver Boom. It is notable for its unique Second Empire architectural style and is the only intact example of this style in the city. The house is linked to Henry Webber, a wealthy shoe merchant, and is said to be haunted by the ghost of his wife, Harriet, who died under mysterious circumstances. The property includes the Schweitzer Cottage, where Albert Schweitzer stayed during his only visit to the U.S. The house features original black walnut woodwork and high ceilings, making it a fascinating site for tourists and researchers interested in Aspen's history and architecture.
