Devoutly religious, Patterson dedicated the majority of her life to the service of others. She was a president of the <a href="https://coloradoencyclopedia.org/article/non-partisan-equal-suffrage-association"><strong>Colorado Equal Suffrage Association</strong></a>, was actively involved with the <strong>Woman’s Club of Denver</strong> and the Woman’s Suffrage Association, and played an integral part in the successful 1893 campaign for <a href="https://coloradoencyclopedia.org/article/womens-suffrage-movement"><strong>women’s suffrage in Colorado</strong></a>. Her daughters, Mary and <strong>Margaret</strong>, were also suffragists who established the Young Woman’s Suffrage Club at the <a href="https://coloradoencyclopedia.org/article/croke-patterson-campbell-mansion"><strong>family’s elegant mansion</strong></a>.</p> <h2>Early Life</h2> <p>Katharine Grafton was born January 1, 1839, in Wellsburg, West Virginia, to Samuel Howell Grafton and Jane Bryant Grafton. The Grafton family was prominent in West Virginia and Maryland; the town of Grafton, West Virginia, is named for the family. The Graftons were also deeply religious, and Katharine, or “Kate” as she was known in her early years, was the grandniece of Alexander Campbell, who helped found the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) during the Second Great Awakening (ca. 1790–1840).</p> <p>When Katharine was young, her family relocated to Marion, Ohio. She attended school at a seminary in Hopedale, Ohio, then went on to the now-defunct Berean College in Jacksonville, Illinois, graduating with literary honors in 1860.</p> <h2>Indiana</h2> <p>After graduation, Grafton moved to Greencastle, Indiana, to teach at a seminary. She intended to become a missionary in India, but she never fulfilled that dream. While living in Indiana, she met Thomas Patterson, and the two married in 1863 in Crawfordsville, Indiana.</p> <p>Originally from Ireland, Thomas McDonald Patterson had immigrated to New York with his family in 1849. In 1853 his family moved west to Crawfordsville. In 1861 Patterson enlisted in the Eleventh Regiment of the Indiana Volunteer Infantry and spent a year serving in the Civil War. After his discharge, Patterson moved to Greencastle to attend Asbury University. There he met Katharine Grafton. He soon transferred to Wabash College and studied law. He was admitted to the bar in 1867 and established a successful practice in Crawfordsville.</p> <p>The Pattersons eventually had five children, three of whom survived into adulthood. While living in Indiana, Katharine gave birth to their first three children: James McDonald in 1864, Mary Grafton in 1867, and Margaret Mountjoy in 1870.</p> <h2>Colorado</h2> <p>In 1872 the Pattersons decided to relocate to <a href="https://coloradoencyclopedia.org/article/denver"><strong>Denver</strong></a>. There the Pattersons had their final two children, both of whom died at a young age.</p> <p>Thomas Patterson became a prominent lawyer in Colorado and went on to serve as the Denver city attorney and win election to the US House of Representatives and Senate. In 1890 he purchased the <strong><em>Rocky Mountain News</em></strong>, and later owned the <strong><em>Denver Times</em></strong> as well.</p> <p>In 1892 Thomas and Katharine Patterson bought a mansion for their family at the corner of Pennsylvania Street and East Eleventh Avenue in Denver’s <a href="https://coloradoencyclopedia.org/article/denver%E2%80%99s-capitol-hill"><strong>Capitol Hill</strong></a> neighborhood.</p> <h2>Philanthropy</h2> <p>While her husband busied himself with politics and publishing, Katharine Patterson became a prominent member of Denver society and a leading clubwoman and philanthropist. She helped organize the <strong>Central Christian Church</strong> and was a founder of the <strong>Ladies’ Relief Society</strong>, a charitable organization established to provide care, shelter, and food for the elderly, homeless, and infirm. She also aided in the establishment of the <a href="https://coloradoencyclopedia.org/article/denver-orphans%E2%80%99-home"><strong>Denver Orphans’ Home</strong></a> and the Woman’s Club of Denver. In 1887 she founded the Woman’s Home Club, later renamed the <strong>Young Woman’s Christian Association</strong> in 1893. Beginning in 1899, she was an associate member of the <a href="https://coloradoencyclopedia.org/article/denver-woman%E2%80%99s-press-club"><strong>Denver Woman’s Press Club</strong></a>. She was also a member of the <strong>Fortnightly Club</strong>, the <strong>Denver Artists’ Club</strong>, and Der Deutsche Damen Club. Patterson believed in beautifying public school classrooms and actively promoted the use of art in public school settings.</p> <h2>Suffrage</h2> <p>Patterson was involved in the fight for women’s suffrage as early as 1877, when the question was first put to voters in the new state. That year, she was elected to serve as the corresponding secretary for the Woman’s Suffrage Association of Colorado. The 1877 campaign failed, but when the suffrage movement in Colorado revived in 1890, Patterson’s name headed a list of Denverites interested in the issue. She was actively involved in the successful 1893 campaign for women’s suffrage in Colorado, as were her daughters, Margaret and Mary Patterson. Katharine Patterson hosted prosuffrage speakers and social events at her home and was also involved with prosuffrage groups such as the Woman’s Club of Denver and the Colorado Equal Suffrage Association. Meanwhile, Margaret and Mary, then in their twenties, founded the Young Woman’s Suffrage League at a meeting of fifty young women held at the family’s Eleventh Avenue mansion. They served as presidents of the organization and helped push for women’s rights in Colorado.</p> <p>After the successful 1893 campaign, Katharine Patterson continued to fight for national women’s suffrage and served several terms as president of the Colorado Equal Suffrage Association. In 1894 <em>The Woman Voter—</em>the monthly suffrage newspaper published by the Woman Suffrage Party—lauded Patterson’s achievements. She continued to hold association meetings at her home and graciously presided over annual meetings. Unfortunately, Patterson did not live to see her goal of national suffrage come to fruition.</p> <h2>Legacy</h2> <p>Katharine Patterson suffered difficult losses in her later years: her son James died in 1892, and her daughter Mary passed away in 1894. Her sole surviving child, Margaret, went on to marry <strong>Richard Crawford Campbell</strong>.</p> <p>Katharine Grafton Patterson died on July 16, 1902. Although she had experienced great loss, she remained devoutly religious throughout her life and tirelessly gave back to her community. She played an integral part in pushing forward women’s rights in the state of Colorado, helping to secure new freedoms. Today, her name is often forgotten, but her influence remains in the continuing existence of the charitable organizations she founded.</p> <p>Thomas Patterson lived with Margaret and Richard Campbell at the family’s Eleventh Avenue mansion until his death in 1916. Now known as the Croke-Patterson-Campbell Mansion, it is listed in the National Register of Historic Places and is operated as a boutique hotel called the Patterson Inn.&nbsp;</p> </div> <!-- END OUTPUT from 'themes/custom/encyclopedia/templates/field/field--node--encyclopedia-article.html.twig' --> <!-- THEME DEBUG --> <!-- THEME HOOK: 'field' --> <!-- FILE NAME SUGGESTIONS: * field--node--field-author--encyclopedia-article.html.twig * field--node--field-author.html.twig x field--node--encyclopedia-article.html.twig * field--field-author.html.twig * field--entity-reference.html.twig * field.html.twig --> <!-- BEGIN OUTPUT from 'themes/custom/encyclopedia/templates/field/field--node--encyclopedia-article.html.twig' --> <div class="field field--name-field-author field--type-entity-reference field--label-above" id="id-field-author"> <div class="field__label" id="id-field-author">Author</div> <div class='field__items'> <div class="field__item" id="id-field-author"><a href="/author/carr-shelby" hreflang="und">Carr, Shelby</a></div> </div> </div> <!-- END OUTPUT from 'themes/custom/encyclopedia/templates/field/field--node--encyclopedia-article.html.twig' --> <!-- THEME DEBUG --> <!-- THEME HOOK: 'field' --> <!-- FILE NAME SUGGESTIONS: * field--node--field-keyword--encyclopedia-article.html.twig * field--node--field-keyword.html.twig x field--node--encyclopedia-article.html.twig * field--field-keyword.html.twig * field--entity-reference.html.twig * field.html.twig --> <!-- BEGIN OUTPUT from 'themes/custom/encyclopedia/templates/field/field--node--encyclopedia-article.html.twig' --> <div class="field field--name-field-keyword field--type-entity-reference field--label-above" id="id-field-keyword"> <div class="field__label" id="id-field-keyword">Keywords</div> <div class='field__items'> <div class="field__item" id="id-field-keyword"><a href="/keyword/katharine-patterson" hreflang="en">Katharine Patterson</a></div> <div class="field__item" id="id-field-keyword"><a href="/keyword/thomas-patterson" hreflang="en">Thomas Patterson</a></div> <div class="field__item" id="id-field-keyword"><a href="/keyword/croke-patterson-campbell-mansion" hreflang="en">Croke-Patterson-Campbell Mansion</a></div> <div class="field__item" id="id-field-keyword"><a href="/keyword/margaret-patterson-campbell" hreflang="en">Margaret Patterson Campbell</a></div> <div class="field__item" id="id-field-keyword"><a href="/keyword/colorado-equal-suffrage-organization" hreflang="en">Colorado Equal Suffrage Organization</a></div> </div> </div> <!-- END OUTPUT from 'themes/custom/encyclopedia/templates/field/field--node--encyclopedia-article.html.twig' --> <!-- THEME DEBUG --> <!-- THEME HOOK: 'links__node' --> <!-- FILE NAME SUGGESTIONS: * links--node.html.twig x links--inline.html.twig * links--node.html.twig * links.html.twig --> <!-- BEGIN OUTPUT from 'themes/contrib/bootstrap_barrio/templates/navigation/links--inline.html.twig' --> <!-- END OUTPUT from 'themes/contrib/bootstrap_barrio/templates/navigation/links--inline.html.twig' --> <!-- THEME DEBUG --> <!-- THEME HOOK: 'field' --> <!-- FILE NAME SUGGESTIONS: * field--node--field-references-html--encyclopedia-article.html.twig * field--node--field-references-html.html.twig x field--node--encyclopedia-article.html.twig * field--field-references-html.html.twig * field--text-long.html.twig * field.html.twig --> <!-- BEGIN OUTPUT from 'themes/custom/encyclopedia/templates/field/field--node--encyclopedia-article.html.twig' --> <div class="field field--name-field-references-html field--type-text-long field--label-above" id="id-field-references-html"> <div class="field__label" id="id-field-references-html">References</div> <div class="field__item" id="id-field-references-html"><p>“<a href="https://archives.colorado.edu/repositories/2/resources/760">Biographical Note</a>,” Thomas M.

Eleventh Avenue in Denver is one of the oldest still-standing residences in the city. It was nominated to the National Register of Historic Places in 1973. Throughout the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, the castle-like mansion’s residents represented a cross-section of the American upper class. Today, the building is home to the four-star Patterson Inn, which opened in 2013.</p>&#13; &#13; <h2>Thomas Croke</h2>&#13; &#13; <p>Thomas Bernard Croke was born in 1856 to Irish immigrants in Magnolia, Wisconsin. Having taught school in Wisconsin, he moved to <a href="/article/denver"><strong>Denver</strong></a> in 1874 with several of his younger siblings. Opting not to teach in Denver, he took a job as a clerk in the carpet department of the <a href="/article/daniels-and-fisher-tower"><strong>Daniels &amp; Fisher</strong></a> store downtown. In just a few years Croke rose from clerk to manager of the store’s carpet department. Through a partnership with Daniels &amp; Fisher—in which Croke, Daniels, and Fisher each received one-third interest—Croke opened his own store, Thomas B. Croke &amp; Co., at 1630 Lawrence Street. Croke’s carpet store earned him enough to build a mansion in Quality Hill. In December 1890, Croke pulled a permit for an $18,000 brick-and-stone dwelling on the southwest corner of East Eleventh Avenue and Pennsylvania Street. The home was to be a chateau-style structure of red sandstone with gables and turrets meant to mimic those of the Château d’Azay-le-Rideau, a sixteenth-century French castle. Today, the mansion is considered one of Denver’s three finest examples of the Chateauesque style, and the only one to survive. The others were the <strong>McMurtrie-Good Mansion</strong>, a block away at Tenth and Pennsylvania, and the <strong>Bethel-Phipps Mansion</strong>, at Colfax Avenue and Marion Street.</p>&#13; &#13; <p>To build his new house, Croke hired contractor J. M. Cochran and noted architect Isaac Hodgson, Jr., who had designed the nearby McMurtrie-Good Mansion and similarly styled stone dwellings in Portland and Omaha. It boasted three stories and a full basement. Turrets, spires, finials, dormers, bay windows, and arched doorways enhanced the facade. An archway connected the castle with a stable that was a miniature of the main house. Inside, the entrance opened into a large hall, the focal point being the massive grand staircase illuminated by large stained-glass windows. On either side of the great hall stood the library, parlor, and dining room with their elegantly carved oak trim. Ornate fireplaces accented each of these rooms, including a welcoming stone fireplace in the entry hall across from the staircase. Upstairs, the second floor opened up into another large hall leading to five family bedrooms, and narrow stairs rose to the third floor with its playroom for the children and three small bedrooms for servants. The basement featured a ballroom, and tucked in the corners were laundry and storage rooms.</p>&#13; &#13; <h2>Thomas Patterson and Richard Campbell</h2>&#13; &#13; <p>Almost immediately after building his grand showplace—and for reasons he never explained—Croke decided to sell. He had only lived there for six months. After the death of his wife, Margaret Dunphy Croke, in 1887, he had moved into the mansion with his two young children and his parents, but his mother also died shortly thereafter. Perhaps these two losses made the lavish home seem too ostentatious for the rural Midwesterner. Preferring the ranch that he owned north of Denver, Croke traded the house to Thomas Patterson for an additional 1,440 acres of ranchland. Croke went on to become a prominent businessman, rancher, and politician.</p>&#13; &#13; <p>Thomas Patterson was born in 1839 in County Carlow, Ireland. His mother’s family was French Huguenot. He and his family came to the United States when he was ten, living first in New York and then settling in Crawfordsville, Indiana. Young Thomas worked with his father in his business as a jeweler, and as a printer. After serving in the Eleventh Indiana Infantry during the Civil War, Patterson enrolled at Asbury College (now DePauw University) and went on to study law at Wabash College, eventually passing the bar in 1867. He bought 1075 Pennsylvania from Thomas Croke in 1893. A lawyer, journalist, and politician, Patterson wanted a home that reflected his standing in the community. But the castle-like dwelling he purchased became more than just a showplace—it was his close-knit family’s retreat for more than thirty years.</p>&#13; &#13; <p>Born in 1865 in Wheeling, West Virginia, Richard Campbell was the son of a newspaper publisher. After graduating from Dartmouth College in 1886, Campbell moved to Alabama for a short time, then to New York, where he wrote for the <em>New York Sun</em>. In 1894 he came to Denver, where he met Thomas Patterson’s daughter Margaret and decided to marry her. The Campbells eventually had three children of their own. Margaret and Richard lived with the Pattersons at 1075 Pennsylvania until 1924, when Richard’s profitable investment business allowed the couple to buy a more modern mansion at 909 York Street. The Campbells only enjoyed their new home for a few years, though, as Margaret died in June 1929; Richard died the following February.</p>&#13; &#13; <p>Margaret and Richard’s daughter, Margaret Campbell, sold the property to the Louise Realty Company, after which it served as the Joe Mann School of Orchestra. In 1927 the building became home to the KFVR radio station. Then, in 1930, it was converted into seven apartments and changed hands several times over the next two decades. In 1932 the address officially changed to 420 East Eleventh Avenue. In 1972, the demolition of another palatial <a href="/article/denver%E2%80%99s-capitol-hill"><strong>Capitol Hill</strong></a> residence, the Moffat Mansion, sparked a grassroots effort to save what was left of old Denver’s architectural treasures. That same year, one woman led her own effort to save the crumbling Croke-Patterson-Campbell Mansion. Realtor Mary Rae fell in love with the house and refused to see it torn down. She bought the property, and, keeping it as apartments, saved the building from likely demolition. She and her husband, John, succeeded in getting the property listed as a <strong>Denver Landmark</strong> and on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973.</p>&#13; &#13; <h2>Renovations</h2>&#13; &#13; <p>In 2011 director and architect Brian Higgins bought the Croke-Patterson-Campbell mansion for $565,000, looking to convert the property into an upscale bed-and-breakfast. Higgins immediately began renovation work, which included repairing the red sandstone exterior, replacing old electrical wiring and plumbing, and installing an elevator. Aware of the building’s long and storied history—including rumors it was haunted—Higgins directed and produced a documentary on the renovations called “The Castle Project.”</p>&#13; &#13; <p>As they knocked down walls, workers uncovered a variety of artifacts dating back to the late nineteenth century, including old newspapers, children’s clothing, and eyeglasses. But they also might have turned up more than just artifacts; during the renovations, Higgins and the work crew reported seeing ghostly figures of children, hearing strange voices, and feeling unexplained changes in temperature.</p>&#13; &#13; <p>The film was released in 2013, and the remodeled Patterson Inn opened that same year. The Inn boasts refurbished hardwood trim, original stained-glass windows, vintage telephones, restored chandeliers, and movie-themed rooms with modern flat-panel televisions and a variety of unique furniture. Nightly rates begin at $169, a price that includes evening wine and hors d’oeuvres and a gourmet breakfast.</p>&#13; &#13; <p><strong>Adapted from Amy Zimmer, “A Stronghold of the ‘Smart Set’: Denver’s Croke-Patterson-Campbell Mansion,” <em>Colorado Heritage Magazine</em> (Spring 2005).</strong></p>&#13; </div> <!-- END OUTPUT from 'themes/custom/encyclopedia/templates/field/field--node--encyclopedia-article.html.twig' --> <!-- THEME DEBUG --> <!-- THEME HOOK: 'field' --> <!-- FILE NAME SUGGESTIONS: * field--node--field-keyword--encyclopedia-article.html.twig * field--node--field-keyword.html.twig x field--node--encyclopedia-article.html.twig * field--field-keyword.html.twig * field--entity-reference.html.twig * field.html.twig --> <!-- BEGIN OUTPUT from 'themes/custom/encyclopedia/templates/field/field--node--encyclopedia-article.html.twig' --> <div class="field field--name-field-keyword field--type-entity-reference field--label-above" id="id-field-keyword"> <div class="field__label" id="id-field-keyword">Keywords</div> <div class='field__items'> <div class="field__item" id="id-field-keyword"><a href="/keyword/croke" hreflang="en">Croke</a></div> <div class="field__item" id="id-field-keyword"><a href="/keyword/patterson" hreflang="en">Patterson</a></div> <div class="field__item" id="id-field-keyword"><a href="/keyword/campbell" hreflang="en">Campbell</a></div> <div class="field__item" id="id-field-keyword"><a href="/keyword/croke-patterson-campbell" hreflang="en">Croke-Patterson-Campbell</a></div> <div class="field__item" id="id-field-keyword"><a href="/keyword/croke-patterson-campbell-mansion" hreflang="en">Croke-Patterson-Campbell Mansion</a></div> <div class="field__item" id="id-field-keyword"><a href="/keyword/mansion" hreflang="en">Mansion</a></div> </div> </div> <!-- END OUTPUT from 'themes/custom/encyclopedia/templates/field/field--node--encyclopedia-article.html.twig' --> <!-- THEME DEBUG --> <!-- THEME HOOK: 'links__node' --> <!-- FILE NAME SUGGESTIONS: * links--node.html.twig x links--inline.html.twig * links--node.html.twig * links.html.twig --> <!-- BEGIN OUTPUT from 'themes/contrib/bootstrap_barrio/templates/navigation/links--inline.html.twig' --> <!-- END OUTPUT from 'themes/contrib/bootstrap_barrio/templates/navigation/links--inline.html.twig' --> <!-- THEME DEBUG --> <!-- THEME HOOK: 'field' --> <!-- FILE NAME SUGGESTIONS: * field--node--field-references-html--encyclopedia-article.html.twig * field--node--field-references-html.html.twig x field--node--encyclopedia-article.html.twig * field--field-references-html.html.twig * field--text-long.html.twig * field.html.twig --> <!-- BEGIN OUTPUT from 'themes/custom/encyclopedia/templates/field/field--node--encyclopedia-article.html.twig' --> <div class="field field--name-field-references-html field--type-text-long field--label-above" id="id-field-references-html"> <div class="field__label" id="id-field-references-html">References</div> <div class="field__item" id="id-field-references-html"><p>Lindsey B.
