Text-to-speech Audio
The Brown Palace Hotel opened in 1892. It was one of the first atrium-style hotels and remains the second-oldest hotel in the city. The hotel was the site of a famous murder in 1911 when Frank Henwood shot and killed Sylvester Louis "Tony" von Phul and an innocent bystander in the hotel bar. Many people confuse the hotel with the Flatiron building due to the similar design.
