Built-in 1923 by Welker Henning, one of Casper’s first millionaires, this iconic home has been home to some of the most prominent figures in the area. Today, we’re lucky enough to take a tour of this beautiful property with Lisa Burridge, owner and founder of Lisa Burridge and Associates Real Estate.
The Henning Mansion is truly one-of-a-kind property, featuring materials purchased from French and Italian castles and boasting original features that are hard to come by. One of the most notable features of this home is its prime downtown location on the corner of 11th and Walcott streets. Additionally, the home is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, making it a true gem in the Casper community.
One of the things that set the Henning Mansion apart is the attention to detail and luxury that was put into its construction. From the grand entry and beautiful staircase to the custom plaster ceilings and built-ins, this home is a true representation of the opulence of the 1920s. The property also features multiple outdoor living areas, a pergola, and multiple patios, as well as mature trees and an original garden wall that adds to the privacy of the property.
But the Henning Mansion isn’t just a beautiful property, it’s also been well-maintained over the years. The most recent owner has invested $600,000 in updates and restoration, ensuring that the home is just as beautiful and functional as it was when it was first built. One of the most notable updates is the luxurious master suite, which features a spacious master bath with a walk-in shower. The home also features a chef’s kitchen and a spacious butler’s pantry.
The basement of the Henning Mansion is just as impressive as the rest of the property, featuring a huge dance floor and an original bar that will transport you back to the 1920s. Additionally, the basement features two vaults, one of which is rumored to have been used as a secret room to spy on those knocking on the front door.
The Henning Mansion was also built with comfort in mind, featuring radiant heating and radiant floor heat in every bathroom. The home also features steel floor joists, steel support beams, and incredible masonry work, all of which were uncommon for the early 20th century. In addition to these structural features, the home also features a three-car garage, including an oil change bay, as well as fully updated guest quarters above the third-car garage with a private entrance and full kitchen.
In conclusion, the Henning Mansion is truly a one-of-a-kind property that stands as a testament to the rich history of Casper.
