Jarvis Hall (Golden, Colorado)
Jarvis Hall was a Colorado liberal arts, grammar and military college from 1870-1904. Initiated in 1868 by Bishop George Maxwell Randall of the Protestant Episcopal Church[1] and named after benefactor George A. Jarvis. The 1878-1882 building in Golden CO remains as a private residence,[2] and the 1882-1904 site near Denver is part of the Lowry Campus.
Golden sites
The first Jarvis Hall building under construction in Golden, Colorado, was blown down by an 1869 windstorm, but was rebuilt in 1870 and became the campus centerpiece of the Colorado University Schools.[3] Graduates included Francis William Loveland and architect James H. Gow, and a fire caused by a defective flue burned Jarvis Hall down on April 4, 1878. After an arson attack on sister school Matthews Hall four days later, professor in charge Thomas Lloyd Bellam decided to combine the schools as one.
Jarvis Hall was temporarily relocated to the Loveland Block in downtown Golden, and before the end of 1878 Bellam funded a new Jarvis Hall building (now 921 19th Street in Golden). The 19th Street Jarvis Hall was a liberal arts and commercial college open to women.
Denver
Episcopal Church members in Denver succeeded in moving Jarvis Hall near the city in 1882 where it resumed as a boys school. The Jarvis Hall Military School in Montclair, Colorado[4]:{{{3}}} burned down in 1904,[5] and the site was subsequently used as a military airfield (Lowry Air Force Base in World War II).[4]
