The Ivinson Mansion was built in 1892 as the lavish home of Edward and Jane Ivinson. It is now one of the finest historic house museums in the Rocky Mountain Region. It houses the Laramie Plains Museum and contains furnishings and artifacts reflecting the rich heritage of the plains area.

This young lady was our tour guide (I think she is just beginning high school but was very knowledgeable about the house, furnishings, and history of the period).This is the drawing room.

Panoramic view of the drawing room (I could only get half). Items throughout the house are outstanding examples of Victorian architecture in the Rocky Mountain region.

The other half of the drawing room.

The Smoking room. Victorian gentlemen found refuge here.

This is an exquisite candy dish (all silver with some glass).

Stairway to the upstairs level. 

This room was used by the nanny for some time, then converted to a toy/doll room. 

This doll is very unique. This is one side of the doll, then

if you turn the doll upside down, you get this black-faced doll. It is cleaver or what?

Another view of the dolls and toys.

This is the master bathroom. The shower is quite unique (it must have 5 or 6 shower head that spray water located in different positions). Unfortunately the other photo I took of it was quite blurry.

Some of the western plainsmen items on display. I'm not quite sure about the throne (chair behind the tour guide). It belonged to Mr. Ivinson but don't recall the purpose of the throne-like scenario.

Bicycle anyone?  

This was set up as a guest room.
