Belonging to The Hillstone Grupo and built in 1883 on a miner’s shoe-string budget of $300, this charming structure stands tall at 302 East Hopkins Avenue, one of the oldest remaining buildings in Aspen. Originally, it served as a humble miner’s cottage, a stark contrast to its current role as a vibrant gathering spot for locals and celebrities alike.
Clad in a crisp white coat with a bright green door as a welcoming pop of color, The White House Tavern embodies the Carpenter Gothic style. Imagine Gothic arches and soaring spires translated into wood – that’s Carpenter Gothic in a nutshell. Steeply pitched roofs, intricate jigsaw-cut details, and the all-white palette all contribute to the building’s unique charm.
