Wow! Some of the luxurious residences documented in our Digital Collections will take your breath away. Here is our very own "Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous" collection, focusing just on the interiors of some of Colorado's wealthier residences. You can see how people blended classical ideas of decor with Western sensibilities, adding the occasional taxidermied moose head, Indian blanket, or Western landscape painting.

You can browse through hundreds of these kinds of photographs by searching "interiors," "decor," or even "living room," or visit our gallery below to see a curated selection.

"Wow Photo Wednesday" celebrates photographs in the Denver Public Library's Digital Collections that have "The Wow Factor" and that highlight the myriad delightful nuggets in our database.
