Baerresen Brothers

The Baerresen Brothers were Danish-born architects based in Denver, Colorado and Cheyenne, Wyoming.[1] A number of their works are listed on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places.

Both were born in Copenhagen, Denmark: Harold W. Baerresen was born January 20, 1846; Viggio Egede Baerresen was born on March 13, 1858.[1]
