Political activist Tim Gill and his husband, Scott Miller, are buying the historic Phipps Mansion from the University of Denver in a deal expected to close by the end of the year, The Denver Post reports.

The house, which the university now rents out for events, will be the couple’s primary residence.

“Tim and I have been looking for a house that was very historic and that has a little bit of land so we can have a proper garden,” said Miller, a wealth adviser at UBS.
