Hotel Colorado Glenwood Ceramic Art Tile
$22.00
An Italianate hotel that has held its corner of Glenwood Springs since 1893. Walter Devereux, the silver magnate who electrified the town, modelled it on the Villa Medici and faced it in local Peach Blow sandstone and Roman brick. Twice it served as a working White House: first when Theodore Roosevelt ran the country from its porches during a 1905 bear hunt, then again under Taft. The teddy bear is said to have started in one of its halls. Across the river the hot-springs steam still rises in winter, and the lights on the long facade come on at the same hour.
Slowly infused into the ceramic surface under high heat and pressure, in our family studio in Knoxville, Tennessee.
