Historia de la familia Phipps: Los Phipps de Denver<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Ocasionalmente, los visitantes de Westbury House preguntan a los docentes y al personal: "Soy de Colorado. \u00bfEstos Phipps son parientes de los Phipps de Denver?". La respuesta a la pregunta es s\u00ed, por supuesto.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A principios del siglo XX, Lawrence Cowle Phipps (1862-1958), sobrino de Henry Phipps, Jr. y primo hermano de Jay Phipps, decidi\u00f3 trasladar su residencia permanente de Pittsburgh a Denver, donde mantuvo una residencia de verano. Poco despu\u00e9s, Lawrence se convirti\u00f3 en un miembro destacado del sector empresarial de Denver, en particular del sector energ\u00e9tico, as\u00ed como de las comunidades pol\u00edtica y social. En 1918, se postul\u00f3 con \u00e9xito para el Senado de los Estados Unidos y represent\u00f3 a Colorado durante dos mandatos; un importante legado pol\u00edtico fue su apoyo a la presa Hoover.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Siguiendo los pasos de las actividades filantr\u00f3picas de sus mentores empresariales, Andrew Carnegie y Henry Phipps, Lawrence tambi\u00e9n se convirti\u00f3 en un l\u00edder en las iniciativas ben\u00e9ficas de Denver. En 1904, construy\u00f3 el Sanatorio Agnes Memorial en Denver \u2014un hospital y centro de rehabilitaci\u00f3n para pacientes con tuberculosis\u2014 en memoria de su madre, Agnes, quien falleci\u00f3 a causa de la enfermedad. Lawrence tambi\u00e9n contribuy\u00f3 significativamente a las operaciones de la Cruz Roja de Denver durante la Primera Guerra Mundial y fue uno de los principales contribuyentes al Museo de Historia Natural de Colorado, actualmente el Museo de Naturaleza y Ciencia de Denver.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Phipps era el menor de los cuatro hijos del pastor metodista William Henry Phipps y su esposa Agnes McCall. Lawrence ascendi\u00f3 en la jerarqu\u00eda de Carnegie Steel a los 16 a\u00f1os, hasta convertirse en vicepresidente. Tras la venta de Carnegie Steel en 1901, Lawrence, al igual que su t\u00edo Henry, se enriqueci\u00f3 enormemente, siendo uno de los principales accionistas de Carnegie Steel. Resulta interesante que la mayor\u00eda de sus biograf\u00edas \u2014incluidas las de su campa\u00f1a pol\u00edtica\u2014 mencionen sus humildes comienzos en Carnegie Steel como oficinista en una acer\u00eda, pero omitan la influencia que su t\u00edo Henry ejerci\u00f3 en su carrera, quien, junto con Andrew y Thomas Carnegie, fund\u00f3 las diversas operaciones sider\u00fargicas que emplearon a Lawrence.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n

Otro hecho interesante en la vida de Lawrence fue su distanciamiento y posterior divorcio de su segunda esposa, Genevieve. Su primera esposa, Ibraella, con quien tuvo dos hijos, falleci\u00f3 de una enfermedad pulmonar tras seis a\u00f1os de matrimonio. En 1897 se cas\u00f3 con Genevieve Chandler, hija de una prominente familia de Pittsburgh. En 1904, peri\u00f3dicos de todo Estados Unidos informaron sobre el secuestro de sus dos hijos, quienes se alojaban en un hotel de Nueva York con su madre. Posteriormente, la prensa inform\u00f3 sobre intentos de reconciliaci\u00f3n mediados por el benefactor de Lawrence, Henry Phipps, Sr.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tras divorciarse finalmente de Genevieve, Lawrence se cas\u00f3 con Margaret Rogers, hija de un destacado abogado y exalcalde de Denver. Margaret y Lawrence tuvieron dos hijos. A principios de la d\u00e9cada de 1930, para generar empleo durante la depresi\u00f3n, seg\u00fan las memorias familiares, Lawrence y Margaret colaboraron en el dise\u00f1o de una gran casa en el sur de Denver y encargaron el proyecto a los arquitectos Fisher and Fisher, junto con Charles Platt. La casa, que a\u00fan existe, se llamaba Belcaro, que traducido del italiano significa "hermosa querida". El paisaje y los jardines fueron dise\u00f1ados por Annette Hoyt Flanders, quien tambi\u00e9n dise\u00f1\u00f3 varios jardines en la zona de Nueva York, incluyendo el de la finca Clovery Manor de Vincent Astor, ubicada en Sands Point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

En la d\u00e9cada de 1960, la familia don\u00f3 Belcaro a la Universidad de Denver, que utiliz\u00f3 la propiedad como centro de eventos y conferencias. En 2010, la Universidad vendi\u00f3 la finca para usarla como residencia privada. Phipps tambi\u00e9n ten\u00eda una residencia de verano en el \u00e1rea de Los \u00c1ngeles, que posteriormente fue propiedad de la comediante Phyllis Diller.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Los hijos de Lawrence tambi\u00e9n desempe\u00f1aron papeles destacados en los negocios y las industrias sin fines de lucro de Denver, siendo copropietarios de los Denver Broncos y dirigiendo el Museo de Ciencias y Naturaleza de Denver desde la d\u00e9cada de 1960 hasta 1981.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
