The Crawford Hill Mansion is a historic house located in Denver, Colorado. It was designated on the National Register of Historic Places on September 13, 1990.[2] The French Renaissance Revival-style mansion is made of brick and sandstone with Ionic columns and a mansard roof.[3][4] The building is 19,000 square feet.[4]

The house was built by Crawford Hill and his wife Louise Sneed Hill in 1906 at the corner of Tenth and Sherman Streets.[2][5] The Hill family fortune having been made in the smelting industry. Louise Sneed Hill was the reigning head of Denver society who snubbed Jews and Catholics.[3] The mansion was later home to the Jewish Town Club and in 1990 it was restored as law offices[3] for Haddon, Morgan & Foreman. The restoration resolved issues that arose due to years of neglect and previous poor restoration efforts, and prevented the building from being demolished.[4]

In 2022, the historic house was purchased by the Salazar Family Foundation which was founded by Rob and Lola Salazar in 1999.
