The decorative Lace House, built in 1863, has since been restored by the city and offers a glimpse into mountain mining history and at 19th-century Carpenter Gothic architecture.
Lucien K. Smith built this house for his wife, and if it was modest in size, he more than made up for that with the gingerbread exterior, which earned the building its nickname and also a reputation as one of the finest examples of Gothic Revival architecture in the Rockies.
In 1974 the house was donated to Black Hawk as a museum. It was renovated just in time for Colorado's centennial and for the next twenty years remained a draw for tourists heading for the hills.
