Babcock Hotel and Tavern Image:  early business District of Evergreen.
Left to right: livery stable, feed store & pool hall, Babcock Hotel (now st. Raphaels), general store.

Jasper Babcock rented rustic summer cabins as early as 1884 and operated the
Babcock Hotel and Tavern on the west side of Bear Creek.

The south section was built in the early 1860's as a tavern. Later, the center section was added and the building
became the Babcock Hotel. The Sisters of St. Mary began using it in 1900 as their summer quarters.
In 1929, Jock Spence added to north end, and the following year the Sister's began their
retreat ministry in Evergreen. The retreat center continued as an outreach ministry of the
Church of the Transfiguration for many years. It is now the Parish Rectory.

Wonderful Front Range History.  Bear Creek in foreground... flowing down to Morrison, Littleton, Englewood, etc.
