James 'Jim' Roland Bishop, the Coloradan who built Bishop Castle , died early Thursday at 80 years old, his family announced on Facebook.Bishop spent 44 years of his life building a castle — located along State Highway 165 in the Rye area — that is now a staple of Colorado 's history. In 1971, it began as a 40-foot metal cylinder encased in stone. By 1972, Bishop was determined to build his castle and the project took shape, changing and continuing to grow through the years.
At 79, he told Denver7 he was ready for his next adventure: exploring our beautiful state. That included Rocky Mountain National Park, which he had never visited before. But he was in need of an adaptive wheelchair to do so. Denver7 Gives helped him reach this accomplishment. Our viewers raised enough money to cover not just one, but two adaptive wheelchairs.
