But as construction mounted, so too did the bill.“When the figure reached $20 million, business advisers encouraged Mr. Stone and Mr. Parker to pack it in. These days, Mr. Stone said, the investment was closer to ‘infinity dollars,’” the publication wrote.“We could have rebuilt this twice as big, for half as much money, but we spent so much restoring it, like a piece of art,” Stone added.That echoes what Parker told The Denver Post last summer: “What we thought would be, ‘Oh this will be cool. We can buy this an...
