Colorado Experience: The Redstone Castle

[@liamseanking23]

I live on an island in Maine and just keep watching Colorado experience videos

[@jenniferrainwater9065]

Ha! Me, too. In ' Lousey-ana'.

[@Brian_yeah_that_brian_Strang]

Does Maine have the equivalent

[@NAHAJI133]

Its cursed by the Utes. On the market over and over. Redstone is beautiful. I lived there a long time. There is something about the entire valley that is unexplainable. Sue in this video RIP. You dug into the valley history and called you a friend on this planet.

My husband and I spent our honeymoon night at Cleveholm Manor back in 1997. We were literally the only guests there that night, so we had almost the whole place to ourselves. We slept in the Lady Bountiful Suite. We were a little nervous about getting there in February, and given the amount of snow we had a heck of a time just getting my Ford Probe up the drive, but we were so glad we went. It was an absolutely amazing place to spend our honeymoon night!

Went to high school with Steve and April Carver, incredible people and could not be more proud, and happy for them. Fantastic job Fatta and April! Love: Special Ed.

[@marshawoods4983]

I sure miss my Colorado... So much to see so much to do.

[@lauriesampson873]

Come back for a visit!

[@dlkenney]

Living just further up the road on the mesa (Crystal River Park) we had a chance to see the Manor every day from a distance. Our youngest daughter was married there and the great memories still persist.

I’m glad it was preserved !Red stone is so historical and charming with a spectacular backdrop for both house and town 😬

[@stuartpedaso2949]

I was in it when Johnson owned it, it … has a life of it's own. Thank goodness it is being preserved, it has historical value that is impossible to value. I wish the green house that was moved to Grand Junction could be brought back and the whole property brought back to how it was originally. Once you've been there it will haunt you the rest of your life.

[@ambermcmahill536]

So sad to see the Magnificent grand piano gone and so many of the Beautiful rugs missing, as well as the huge hand carved silver cabinet still containing the silverware The house was in excellent condition when I worked there as a housekeeper in 1968. The corporation that owned the Redstone Inn also owned the Manor house. They restored the plaster on the outside of the house and had some work done on the furnace.

[@erepsekahs]

You'll probably find a lot of those things in the houses of those entrusted with it's upkeep, especially if it was a 'non-profit' Trust. ....just for safe-keeping you understand...Ahem.

[@bethbartlett5692]

That building reflects so much more than Osgood, it is the energy of every man and woman that worked toward Osgood's achieving of the manifesting of this landmark. It is always more than one on this level.

[@raptor31able]

The Carvers seem like outstanding people, salt of the earth !!!

[@pigoff123]

Growing up in Germany we had marble steps an marble floors. Most middle class houses had marble front steps. My dad was stationed there from 72 to 96 when he retired. My brother even worked as a stone mason once.

[@charlenenewby2131]

The 1968 Roaring Fork High School (Carbondale, Colorado) junior class, thanks to the endeavors of my sister, held the prom in the grand living room of Cleveholm.

[@ObamAmerican48]

Very interesting. I'm a Pueblo Colorado native and our community was all about CF&I (the "steel mill") until foreign competition killed the steel industry in the US. Pueblo's economy has never recovered. I vaguely recall mention of Redstone in CO history classes but I don't recall anything about Osgood.

[@Yai1950]

Thank you for sharing this video. I miss Telluride Colorado

[@zorroonmilkavitch1840]

yeah Telluride is some wild place I learned my lesson not to drive there in the middle of the winter during a 30-inch snow storm and driving over Red Mountain Pass and and Lizard Head V I think it was wow that's night a plow driver died and fell over the cliff and I made it over in a van with all season radials I must have had the spirit of God on my side that night

[@NAHAJI133]

Good job on this. Sue you look lovely.

[@HubertofLiege]

See all the beatle killed trees behind the castle? They need to remove them by thinning or risk it all burning catastrophically. Look at the early pictures and the forest behind was drier and thinner in density.

[@HubertofLiege]

Mustang .308 you can thin it to diminish the beetles. Get rid of the damaged trees and there are less attractants sent out by trees and bugs. There’s always beetles around it’s just that there is too much damage in the trees which causes a snowball effect of trees weeping resin and bugs multiplying. All of our national forests have this problem and it stems from a lack of management since the eighties when the usda rid themselves of logging in exchange for recreation. Now there are two entities in the forest service, fire and recreation.

[@harrietetter9321]

my late husband was the accountant for the castle when ken johnson owned it -- we went up there sometimes -- it was said they held seances in the castle -- i could feel it -- the bedrooms were decorated inappropriately -- hope thats all gone -- osgoods wife held christmas parties for the workers children and was called lady bountiful -- there were paintings of her in the sleigh handing presents to the children -- whatever happened to them -- osgood drew inspiration from the hearst castle and they traded things -- it may not be an englishmans idea of a castle -- but its our castle

[@zorroonmilkavitch1840]

Well at first saw the Redstone Castle in 79-80 and it was really amazed at the beauty of this Valley but I was looking at property up in marble end I actually started a land rush by opening my big mouth about these cheap Lots North of the gate in the town of marble and I could have had 35 lots for about $1,000 a piece how much were they they were cheap it was like $35,000 for all the lost and the next year all those lots went up like Fifty fold

[@jwebbw]

I don't agree with the man at 13:40. There's a town not too far from there called Marble that has a marble quarry. Why would they import the marble ? In fact, marble was trained back to Wash DC from this marble quarry to build buildings back there. And my friend's brother is a sculpture and made two marble lions from this quarry, for the entrance to the Redstone Castle.

[@ZepplinGirl86]

Forgive me, but wasn’t there a fountain/pond? I was so little when I went

[@ambermcmahill536]

There is a fountain in the courtyard with a dragon pouring water into it...but I think you may be referring to the fountain on the front lawn...which was gone when I lived there.

[@NAHAJI133]

And by the way..what ever the locals tell you..the homes in Redstone came from Sears N Roebuck. No insulation and cold as heck

[@eleonorbagcal6903]

I thought it was the Redstone House was in Manitou Springs

Hear me, the IRS is an Agency and it is owned, a Corporation, and there are many "Agencies" that are presumed to be fully Government, including the Federal Reserve, but it is the *"Federal Reserve Bank Corporation"* and *"it is Privately owned by 1 family and they are neither Citizens nor Residents of the USA".* They are Powerful Trillionaires and the own News Media, the "Associated Press", likely more under subsidiaries and with allies. They are the "Go-to-Source" for War Loans, both sides, winner pay all. There are many shocking scenarios that "we assume to be government" that are not, including our Birth Certificates, they are printed on Bond Paper, because they have an assigned value and they are *"traded on the NYSE M-F".* They are owned by the same that own "the Fed". Public Information that requires a bit of effort, ignore the propaganda they have thrown up to make folks think it is C-theory, double propaganda is a saturation of accusations to make the Public get numb to the story and to make them believe it doesn't matter or isn't accurate.

The Utes are tuouted to have “owned” everything just because some of them may have visited these places. When they left they cursed everything ❤😂🎉😂❤

[@adeshwodan4679]

“Forced to build their own houses”. That is quite a statement. You should always be ALLOWED to build your own house. Wish I was. Socialism is a blight on the soul. It never works for long . . . The “workers” should start their own enterprises not feed off others. ❤😂🎉😂❤

House is beautiful, but it’s a monument to the disastrous policy of Manifest Destiny, rapacious capitalistic/industrialist greed, plutocracy, bigotry, and the very embodiment of the origins of our current climate disaster. I’d gladly give up these kind of “historical” places if we could go back and undo the damage these people caused and the future they enabled.

Stuart Pedaso beauty is not what defines a castle or mansion, its a big house.

[@lostmartyr6828]

Rocky Mountain PBS I just read the first sentence and it said a fortified residence. Thats dead on as castles are built with specific purposes, wartime is one of many. But overall its designed for a family to rule over a land. This is fully designed for comfort as a private residence and to be secluded. I have stayed in larger places that were considered a house or mansion.
