shangri-la mansion, denver
Almost hidden on a hilltop, is this beautiful example of Denver Moderne, the
Shangri-La Mansion.
Designed by Raymond Ervin in 1937, this mansion was inspired by a structure in the Frank Capra film of the same year, Lost Horizon.
Lost Horizon is itself almost a lost film as full prints no longer exist. The current restoration of the film is forced to use photo stills as stand-ins for missing scenes.
