During
World War I, Tutt served in the Army as a captain. After that, he worked for a year in the real estate business. Tutt was secretary and treasurer of Electric and Manufacturing Company, Grand Junction Gas, and Grand River Valley Railroad Company. He was president of Beaver Fruit and Preserving Company, Beaver Park Land and Irrigation, and Beaver, Penrose and Northern Railroad. He was director of the Granite Gold Mine,
Colorado Midland Railway, and Colorado Title and Trust Company. Tutt was the secretary of the Broadmoor Hotel and Land Company until Penrose's death in 1939, when he became president of
The Broadmoor, owned by Penrose's charitable organization,
El Pomar Foundation. He became head of the foundation in 1956 with Julie Penrose's death. The Tutt Library at
Colorado College is named for Tutt, who served as a trustee of Colorado College. In 1959, the house he had lived in with his parents was donated to the school, and it is now known as the Tutt Alumni House. He died at his home in Colorado Springs on November 1, 1961, at the age of 72. In 1992, Edward H. Honnen (from the 1921 class of Colorado Springs High School) commissioned sculptor Cloyd Barnes to create a statue of Tutt, which was placed in front of the Tutt Library. Over the years, the statue has been decorated in various ways, and they have done so with affection, imagination and a sense of humor. ==References==
