History or our 120 year old Victorian home
Our “home” was originally constructed in the early 1880s as a home for Christ Kaiser,
an immigrant from Germany who ran a market and butcher shop on Lincoln Street. In the
late 1800s and early 1900s many prominent business owners lived in this neighborhood.
The Kaiser legacy lives on through Alice Kaiser Sandefer, granddaughter of Christ Kaiser,
who enjoys a bit of nostalgia when she visits the Hearthstone from time to time.
When you visit, be sure and view the many historic photographs of the house and
the family who lived here, which Alice has generously shared with us.
The building has undergone a number of renovations and additions over the years,
even surviving a fire in the 1940s, which is evidenced by the charred beams still
visible in the basement. Since the late 60s it has been the home of several restaurants,
most famously Andrea’s Pleasure Palace during the 1970s.
In 1989 the building was purchased by Alexandra Storm and Dick Carleton. After a bit
of renovation and re-decorating, we re-opened in November of 1989 as the Hearthstone Restaurant.
We invite you to come as you are and relax in the warmth and comfort of our richly decorated,
romantic home and enjoy Regional American cuisine, voted “Best Overall” in the last Taste of
Breckenridge Competition. Complement your meal with a selection from our extensive Wine List,
which has earned the Wine Spectator’s “Award of Excellence” annually since 1997.
