West Gaylord Suite Immediately following the demolition of the World Arena in 1994, construction of the West Tower began. It was completed in 1995. The Gaylord Suite is named for Oklahoma Publishing Company CEO Edward L. Gaylord (1919-2003). In 1988, the Oklahoma Publishing Company purchased a controlling interest in The Broadmoor from El Pomar Foundation. The remaining interest was purchased in 2004, giving the Oklahoma Publishing Company sole proprietorship of the resort. Devereaux Suite This suite is named after Horace Devereuax, a noted polo player and close friend and partner of Spencer Penrose from his Cripple Creek mining days. He rode with Theodore Roosevelt and the Rough Riders at the battle of San Juan. Devereaux never married and lived at the hotel until his death at age 78 in 1937. He is buried at the Will Rogers Shrine of the Sun. This suite was added in 1946. 62 The Broadmoor Magazine | 2011 • 2012
