1930s Farm House
Oral history that this structure started out as a carriage house on the Hallack Estate at South Pierce Street and West Alameda Avenue. It is said that in the 1910s, worker rolled the structure on logs to the northeast corner of West Ohio Avenue and South Wadsworth Boulevard. Architectural evidence suggests at least two additions to the house’s central section.

After the move to Ohio Avenue, ownership and use of the house and land changed several times. A fish farm was followed by the Moore sheep farm. Later, by the mid 1940s, Maplecrest Turkey Farm occupied the spot. When plans to widen Wadsworth Boulevard targeted the house for demolition in 1956, May (Bonfils) Stanton owned it.

Mrs. Stanton sold the house to Lucy Webber who moved it to West Yale Avenue at Zuni Street. Again threatened with demolition when Zuni Street was scheduled for widening, the City of Denver purchased the house and deeded it to Lakewood’s Heritage Center for preservation. The house was moved here on April 10, 1980.
