About the Molly Brown House Museum:
The Molly Brown House Museum preserves the 14-room Victorian mansion of the "Unsinkable" Molly Brown, who survived the sinking of the Titanic. Before the house in Denver's Capitol Hill neighborhood opened as a museum in 1970, it had served other functions such as a boarding house and a home for wayward girls.
The 7,500-square foot house was designed by architect William Lang in 1889, and Molly and J.J. Brown moved to the house in 1894. Molly Brown lived in the spacious home until her death in 1932. Molly and J.J. rose from humble roots to millionares by striking it rich in Leadville's silver mines.
