In 1992, the Foundation purchased and designated Penrose House as a conference center available to Colorado’s nonprofit sector.
The House was officially listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1995. Since then, Penrose House has hosted numerous dignitaries and political leaders in its current role as a nonprofit meeting place. Notable visitors include: His Royal Highness, Prince Henry of Wales (Prince Harry), President George H.W. Bush, Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev, British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher as well as Olympic medalists such as Mark Spitz, Jackie Joyner-Kersee and Picabo Street.
Today, Penrose House is just one piece of the legacy left by the Penroses to the state of Colorado.
