The Aspen, Colorado Office
of BJ Adams and Company Real Estate
|
In 2006, we purchased a historic miner's cottage at the corner of Hunter and East Hopkins, across the street from Alpine Bank and at the center of Aspen's Saturday Farmer's Market. We transformed it into our new Aspen office.
The building is one of three adjacent cottages, built in the late 1880's. The cottages were in danger of falling down until developers Greg and Jane Hills came up with an innovative and attractive way of saving them. All were patterned after the historic mercantile buildings of downtown Aspen.
The project, bordered by a park and City Hall to the west and St. Mary's Church and rectory to the north, also historic structures, received a lot of positive press. We couldn't be more proud of our "digs" -- they are not only handsome and comfortable; they also feature some innovative green desing ideas. We invite you to view the remodeling photos below.
We're also proud of our landmark Snowmass farmhouse office, which is thriving in this market.
We continue to focus on Aspen, Snowmass and Basalt/El Jebel real estate, our niche.

The Conner Cabins History
Claude Conner's family acquired the first of three old miners' cabins at the corner of the Hunter and Hopkins block almost 80 years ago. Claude personally approved their restoration, and one of them became our second home in 2006.
 Claude's grandparents, Milton and Margaret Conner, who were born and raised in Aspen, purchased the cabins as a place to raise their four children. Eventually four generations of Conners settled here.
In 2005, the Conner family sold their three homes to Austin Lawrence Partners, an Aspen development company specializing in the restoration of historic properties.
The development, roundly praised by the Historic Preservation Commission, included the renovation of the three cabins which, in addition to BJ Adams and Company, houses Austin Lawrence and one other business, and three detached single-family loft residences. All six properties surround a beautiful courtyard.
We're proud to be part of the revival of this historic corner in the core of Aspen, complete with the sweet peas and sunflowers that once bloomed in the Conner's garden.
