The Cheyenne Cañon Inn, which was originally named “Sunnycrest,” was built by Lillian Casey, who began the project in 1918. The original home, acquired by Lillian around 1904, burned down and was replaced with the current Mission-style house. The shockingly “modern” house was completed in 1921.
Lillian was the eldest daughter in a family of nine children. To make ends meet, Lillian made the decision to turn Sunnycrest into a resort house. This proved to be a wise decision as the Colorado Springs & Interurban Railway built a new electric trolley line to the Stratton Park Meadows Station directly across the street.
