Description: AHEC Planning Department Offices
Maurice Dolan's career in the flour-milling business had just begun when he built 1056 Ninth Street, a classic cottage characterized by its hip roof and central dormer window. At the same time, Dolan was a bookkeeper for Hungarian Flour Mills. In 1928 as manager of Excelsior Mills, he worked with Stephen Knight to merge (see 1015 Ninth Street) to merge the company with Eagle Mills, which was later absorbed by the Colorado Milling and Elevator Company.
The classic cottage is an architectural style known all over the country. There are still thousands in use throughout the city of Denver.
The Dolan house was designed by William Howe, and replaced an earlier structure that neighbor Frank Wilson had lived in from 1876-80 (see 1050 Ninth Street).
