Ice Palace History

The Leadville Ice Palace was an enormous, ice-walled building with an exterior in the style of a Norman castle and an interior comprising a large skating rink and two ballrooms. Proposed and constructed in late 1895, the Ice Palace hosted a Crystal Carnival from January 1 to March 28, 1896, before its ice walls melted and its wooden structure was dismantled. Intended to draw tourists and revive Leadville?s economy, the Ice Palace struggled with high costs and mild weather that made it a financial failure.
