The Goldman family can file a claim against Simpson’s estate in an effort to extract some funds, but it’s not clear how much they could ultimately receive, said Elizabeth Bawden, an adjunct professor at UCLA School of Law who specializes in estate planning. LaVergne walked back that statement Monday, saying he was responding to “highly inflammatory” remarks made by the Goldman family’s attorney after Simpson’s death. Legal experts said the death of Simpson — who had fought efforts to pay the judgment — offers a new window for the families, but they still face what could be a lengthy battle. Five decades into our journey we remain actively engaged every day in the places that mean the most to Denverites — advocating for them and sharing their stories. It would take years of restoration to get the house back to its 1910 grandeur when Brown had the house photographed in her heyday. The detailed photos of the home did not surface until the mid-1970s, but it finally meant that preservationists had a clearer picture of what the interior looked like then than ever before.
History
He said there may be value in Simpson’s possessions simply because he owned them, which could increase the value of the overall estate. O.J. Simpson, whose rise and fall from American football hero to murder suspect to prison inmate fueled a public drama that obsessed the nation, has died. Just how much money Simpson had at the end of his life remains a mystery. Simpson’s death last week opened a new door for the families to finally collect.
Experience Historic Denver
By nightfall, demonstrators sat in the street and led protest chants against Israel and U.S. foreign aid to the country. Police began pulling dozens of people, young and old, off the roadway. Officers handcuffed them with zip ties and loaded them on several buses that lined the street. Students at Brown University in Rhode Island established an encampment Wednesday. Large signs announcing "Gaza Solidarity Encampment" and "Brown invests in the Palestinian genocide" were prominently displayed. “We resist the fact that our tuition money is going toward bankrolling Israel’s genocide,” said Violet Barron, a sophomore from Los Angeles and member of the Harvard Out of Occupied Palestinian Coalition.

Students sang and danced in a circle in front of the statue of John Harvard, the school’s namesake, draped with a keffiyeh (scarf), as dozens of others looked on. President Joe Biden on Wednesday signed a controversial aid package bill that provides billions of dollars for the Israeli military. Lawmakers who supported the aid have been among targets of the protesters. In Brooklyn, police made arrests for disorderly conduct late Tuesday during a street protest near the residence of Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., the majority leader.

‘We would lay our arms down:’ Is this the end of the property tax wars, or just another battle?
However, when World War I broke out, Margaret shifted her focus to relief efforts, eventually traveling to France to work for the American Committee for Devastated France. Together, Margaret and Alva became involved in the National Women’s Trade Union League. Unlike other women’s organizations or labor groups, the League included both women of the upper classes and working women in an effort to advocate for a minimum wage and an eight-hour workday. Margaret traveled the country speaking about both women’s issues and labor issues, and authored dozens of newspaper articles.
The Tobins were part of a wave of immigration following the first period of industrialization in America. Hannibal was a diverse community where Margaret was exposed to a variety of people and interests and where her parents found a group of like-minded Irish Catholic immigrants who supported both freedom and equality. We love when people take pictures, just be sure to turn off your flash and tag us on social media #MollyBrownHouse. We currently offer guided tours on the hour and an “Explore on Your Own” option throughout the day. Museum tickets are available for purchase by following the “Purchase Tickets” link above.
On December 11, 1970, Historic Denver, Inc. was formed in a grass roots effort to save the House of Lions from demolition. Through several phases of restoration the house has been restored to its original splendor. We encourage you to visit the Museum to lend your support, see the restoration work first-hand, and learn about Denver’s own Unsinkable Margaret Brown.
With their new money and an already growing circle of friends, the Browns purchased what would become their long-time Denver home on Pennsylvania Avenue (now Street) in 1894. By the 1890s, the Denver skyline was filled with hotels, office blocks and looming brick smokestacks. Denver was the point of entry and departure for raw goods and there were smelters on all sides. The Tobins had progressive views that valued education, even for their daughters. Margaret attended school until age 13 and the lessons she learned from her parents stayed with her throughout her life, guiding her drive for personal growth and her commitment to participating in the world around her. Margaret Tobin Brown was born to Irish immigrants John and Johanna Tobin in 1867 in Hannibal, Missouri.

In Brooklyn, police made scores of disorderly conduct arrests when a street protest reached a standoff Tuesday night. The protesters, organized by the activist group Jewish Voice for Peace, had gathered at Grand Army Plaza, near the home of Schumer, who has led the effort in Congress to provide funds for the Israeli military. The protesters conducted a Seder dinner and demanded a cease-fire in Gaza. Harvard students set up a ring of tents in Harvard Yard midday Wednesday and said they plan to stay put until the school’s administration responds to their demands to divest from funds that support Israel’s military.
Historic Denver is actively engaged every day with community members, property owners, neighborhoods and partners to find creative solutions for the places where growth and preservation meet. Through advocacy, educational experiences, and technical support, we help tell the stories of our city through its places. The group’s efforts to save the house may have started in the 1970s but restoration on the 132-year-old house continues today.
One thing’s for sure, Margaret Brown was a strong woman ahead of her time and a name that should never be forgotten to history. Rallies and encampments have sprung up on campuses from California to Massachusetts this week, sometimes prompting police intervention, as was the case Wednesday at the University of Texas in Austin and at the University of Southern California. The protesters are calling for an end to U.S. military support for Israel and for eliminating Israeli investments. Volunteer for our Discover Denver survey to learn about our city’s unique buildings. Through our extensive events and programs, you’ll learn the full story of our city’s past and the challenges and opportunities for its historic places today.
