A Very Victorian Holiday: Tea at the Byers-Evans House

Step inside the beautiful Byers-Evans House, an 1883 Victorian mansion tucked into Denver's Golden Triangle. Built for William Byers, the founding editor of the Rocky Mountain News, this remarkable home later became the residence of the prominent Evans family. Today, it offers a fascinating glimpse into the lives, traditions, and stories of early Denver.

The house gets dressed up for the holidays, and you'll get a special look at its historic rooms and seasonal decorations during a docent-led tour. Imagine stepping into another era, surrounded by period furnishings and the details of a home that has witnessed more than a century of Denver history.

Then comes afternoon tea! Gather for tea, scones, and tea sandwiches and the house's signature Lady Evans tea. The tasty treasures are prepared by Miss Peabody’s Southern Tea Cakes. I

Whether you're drawn to the history, the architecture, the holiday atmosphere or simply the pleasure of a proper afternoon tea, this is a lovely way to celebrate the season.

Come raise a teacup and enjoy a little taste of Christmas past!
