Glen Eyrie.

Glen Eyrie
3820 N. 30th
National Register 4/21/1975, 5EP.189


By 1901, what began as a modest clapboard home in 1871 had evolved into the sixty-five room "castle" belonging to William Jackson Palmer, railroad magnate and founder of Colorado Springs. 

Frederick J. Sterner served as the architect. 

The property is located in a narrow canyon just north of the geological formation known as the Garden of the Gods.
