History

In 1890 Henry T. Mayham lobbied the Presbytery of Denver to build a Presbyterian University on land that he owned in Crown Point in Westminster, Colorado to be called Westminster University.[1]

The cornerstone was laid in 1891 but construction was delayed by the Panic of 1893. Stanford White redesigned the building and construction began using local sandstone.[1]

In 1920 the facility was sold to the Pillar of Fire International and in 1925 the name of the facility was changed to Belleview College and Preparatory School.[1] Arthur Kent White was president.[2]
