Driggs Mansion, The Most Recognized Landmark Along Colorado's Hwy 141. Not all that long ago, you use to be able to walk up and in Driggs Mansion, but vandals and weather have taken their toll on the old structure and now the area is fenced off. Construction was started in 1914 and finished in 1918. Water had to be hauled in from West Creek to make the stone blocks. When it was finished Driggs Mansion had 6 or 7 rooms and two fireplaces. The roadside marker shows a picture of what the mansion use to look like before vandals hauled off much (10 comments)
