Belcaro (also commonly known as Phipps Mansion) is a historic mansion and private residence in Denver, Colorado, specifically in the southeast Belcaro, Denver neighborhood at the corner of Madison Street and Belcaro Drive.[2] Built between 1931 and 1933,[3] the 33,000 square feet (3,100 m2) Georgian style Phipps Mansion consists of more than seventy rooms, two of which were imported from England. The facility is decorated in the Chippendale and Queen Anne styles and features European, American, and Asian art.[4]

Lawrence Cowle Phipps commissioned the mansion[3] with his third wife, Margaret Rogers (daughter of Denver mayor Judge Rogers), hoping to provide jobs during the Great Depression.[5] They called the residence Belcaro, which is Italian for "dear one". The neighborhood surrounding the mansion was developed by Phipps' Belcaro Realty and Investment Company and is called Belcaro.[6]
