Wallace de Beque House

Mesa County

The house was the residence of Wallace A.E. de Beque, a physician who was one of the town’s founders.  Constructed in 1889, it is a typical example of a late 19th century wood frame single family dwelling.  

A black and white photo of the house with gabled roof over covered porch, along the roof are two dormer windows. In front of the house is a white picket fence and tall trees.

During his years in residence, de Beque oversaw several additions that nearly doubled its original size.  The house appears today much as it did at the time of de Beque’s death in 1930.
