In 1891, he began construction of the mansion and completed almost 60 percent of the present building. Springer sold the ranch to Colonel Hughes, in 1913 who named the property Sunland Ranch. Upon his death, the mansion was sold in 1920 to Waite Phillips, a founder of Phillips Petroleum, and he first introduced the name “Highlands Ranch.” In 1926, Phillips sold the mansion to Frank E. Kistler who called it the Diamond K Ranch. (You will find there are Highlands Ranch parks named after both Kistler and the Diamond K Ranch.) He added the final 40 percent of the mansion and altered the style to a classic Tudor. Kistler then sold the property to the Phipps family in 1937. The Phipps family has long been a prominent name in Colorado industry including construction, trucking, professional sports, including the Denver Broncos, ranching and real estate. The Phipps family acquired the property as a residence and a working ranch and renamed it Highlands Ranch.<!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] --><br><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] --><br><!-- [et_pb_line_break_holder] -->Phipps, Jr. owned the property until his death in 1976.
