Baerresen Brothers

The Baerresen Brothers were Danish-born architects based in Denver, Colorado. 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. Harold W. began practice in Denver in 1879, forming a partnership with his brother in 1887. Harold W.'s son, Albert A. Baerresen, was also associated with his father's firm for many years, and operated a branch office in Cheyenne, Wyoming before establishing an independent practice in that city. From 1920 to 1922 he was in partnership with Frederic Hutchinson Porter. After Harold died in 1918, Viggio continued the firm until retiring in 1928.
