Denver-based general contractor Jordy Construction finished construction of The Barn at Raccoon Creek, Denver’s only historic barn wedding and event venue. Jordy Construction led the restoration efforts on the project, which broke ground in September. The project included the restoration of a turn-of-the-century barn and the development of a bridal cottage and landscaped gardens and courtyards. “We are so pleased with the completed restoration as the enhancements breathe new life into this historic property,” said Abby Nurre, sales director at The Barn at Raccoon Creek. “The Barn and its surrounding gardens, courtyard and rustic out-buildings make for a truly unique wedding site in the Denver metro area that is a perfect backdrop for a rustic chic wedding.” The Barn at Raccoon Creek is a part of the original Grant Ranch property that dates back to 1878, when the third Colorado state and first Democratic governor, James B. Grant, purchased the property to use as a gun and sporting club for family and friends. The property was later sold to a cattle rancher, and in 1933 was repurchased by the Grant family. Today, the property houses the 18-hole Raccoon Creek Golf Course, the Grove restaurant and a clubhouse that includes a full pro shop. Livstudio LLC was the architect for the project.
