Four Mile House

With a portion dating from 1859, Four Mile House is Denver’s earliest surviving structure.  The location served as the last stage stop, before entering Denver, on the Wells Fargo Butterfield Stage route between El Paso and Denver. 

Thumbnail

Ernest LeNeve Foster House / Cathcart House

During a four decade period Ernest Foster managed major mines in Clear Creek, Gilpin, and Summit counties, notably the Snow Drift, Fletcher, Colorado Central, and Saratoga. 

Thumbnail

A.C. Foster Building / University Building

Constructed in 1911, the twelve-story office building was designed by noted Denver architects William E. and Arthur A. Fisher. While the first and second stories are surfaced with smooth cut granite, the walls are primarily of dark brown brick.  The 16th St. facade is composed of seven bays, with segmental arches topping the five central bays.  

Thumbnail

Fort Logan National Cemetery

Fort Logan National Cemetery is nationally significant for its association with the development of military and veterans cemeteries during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries by the federal government.  Fort Logan National Cemetery has a history that dates back to the late nineteenth century as the U.S. Army consolidated its Western posts as the frontier shrank, lessening the need for the smaller posts.  Further, it is tied to Colorado's ongoing attempts to attract and keep federal installations during the twentieth century. 

Forest Street Parkway

This 0.3-mile parkway, by an unknown planner, presents a simple and elegant design in the manner of Olmsted’s East 17th Avenue Parkway.  

Thumbnail

Justina Ford House

Originally constructed at 2335 Arapahoe St. in 1890, the two-story flat roofed brick house sits on a stone foundation.  Simple in massing and detailing, its most distinctive features are the dentils, end brackets, and finials of its pressed metal cornice.  The house was the residence and office of Dr. Justina Ford from 1912 until her death in 1952. 

Thumbnail

Barney L. Ford Building

Portions of the three-story brick commercial structure date from the 1860s.  The building is important for its association with Barney L. Ford an early Denver businessman, civic leader, and politician.  Ford opened the People’s Restaurant in the street level in August of 1863, along with a barber shop and hair salon in the basement and a bar on the second floor. 

Thumbnail

John S. Flower House

This 1891 residence, designed by Robert G. Balcomb and Eugene Rice, was built for Denver real estate developer John S. Flower. 

Thumbnail

Flower-Vaile House

Designed by Balcomb and Rice, the 1889 two-story Queen Anne style house is an interesting example of late 19th century residential architecture.  Constructed of pressed brick, with rock faced stone trim, the facade features elaborate porches on both floors and a modified Palladian window on the first floor.
