Description: CU Denver English Department Building
This charming brick one-story cottage, with its graciously proportioned windows, was built by Henry Cole circa 1875, probably as an investment. There is a possibility, however, that it is much older, and indeed perhaps the oldest brick residence left standing in the Denver community.
The asymmetrical plan, accented by a white picket fence, was popular in Colorado during the 1860s and 1870s.
The Wilson family occupied this house from 1880-1913. Frank Wilson was an engineer with the Denver Rio Grande Railroad for 35 years.
Inside the house, over one of the doorways, is a collection of artifacts discovered on the site during restoration.
