El Pomar Foundation Carriage Museum

Project details

Project Details The Carriage Museum for the El Pomar Foundation honors the legacy of Spencer Penrose as a showcase for his personal collection of transportation artifacts; ranging from turn-of-the- century carriages to his celebrated 1950’s era Cadillac. The Focal point of the 9,041 square foot Museum is a dynamic ramp that displays the three automobiles that Mr. Penrose “raced to the clouds” in the early days of the Pikes Peak Hill Climb. The design introduced a mezzanine floor which allows visitors to experience the extensive collection while sampling the history of Spencer Penrose. The museum is a celebration of one the most influential personalities of the Colorado region.
