Carr Manor

Twenty years later, the Ledford family purchased the property and has nearly completed the process of a full restoration and reconstruction of the 14 rooms and has just completed 2 additional luxury suites, a conference center and a Grand Ballroom. Rooms in the Manor will all have theme names and historic reflections of times gone past.

Cripple Creek High School was built in two phases. The southern 60 feet of the school were built in 1897 with the northern portion built in 1905. It served as one of two Cripple Creek schools for nearly 70 years. For the new owners, Gary and Wini Ledford, Cripple Creek High School is a study in history. Carr Manor symbolizes the love of the mining district’s 1890’s gold rush history and that of two Carr Families, whose life long stories have become a lesson the school will expound upon and for whom the new business the schoolhouse Inn is named.

Our conference center was developed in the original High School Gym. Fully equipped with projection equipment, it is ideal for corporate retreats, conferences and small group presentations. Ideally suited for groups up to 45.

The Art Gallery and Gift Shop features well recognized Colorado and western artists with limited edition works of fine art, including Mark Hopkins and Issac Vassa. The walls of Carr Manor are lined with fine art and historical pieces, several of which are for sale. Find the perfect gift to remember your stay with us or for that special someone at home. Inquire at the front desk if you would like to purchase or inquire about a piece you like.
