In 1890, lumber baron John Mouat built a beautiful mansion in downtown Denver for his wife Amelia and his five children. It seems he also built it as a showcase for his lumber business. The first floor has three parlors, the original five bedrooms are on the second floor, and the third floor is a magnificent ballroom. Each room was lined with a different kind of wood, all available from Mouat's company at the time. More than 100 years later, the mansion was restored to its original splendor and turned into an inn and event space.

Current owner Elaine Britten, along with her husband Joel Bryant, love the inn but have decided to retire. Brittan tells us about the spirits that haunt the mansion, which she finds comforting, especially the ghost of Amelia Mouat. However, a little digging suggests that the mansion's past includes an unsolved double murder in 1970.

Yes, this is a bathroom.
That said, the business seems to be doing well, and you can see more of this gorgeous historical home with six bedrooms and nine bathrooms at the real estate listing. -via Fark
