Baerresen Brothers

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Baerresen Brothers were Danish-born architects based in Denver, Colorado.[1] A number of their works are listed on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places.

Both were born in Copenhagen, Denmark: Harold W. Baerresen was born January 20, 1846; Viggio Egede Baerresen was born on March 13, 1858. Harold W. began practice in Denver in 1879, forming a partnership with his brother in 1887.[1] Harold W.'s son, Albert A. Baerresen, was also associated with his father's firm for many years, and operated a branch office in Cheyenne, Wyoming before establishing an independent practice in that city.[1] From 1920 to 1922 he was in partnership with Frederic Hutchinson Porter. After Harold died in 1918, Viggio continued the firm until retiring in 1928.[2]
