JUSTINA FORD HOUSE

3091 California Street

National Register 11/23/1984, 5DV.1493

 

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. Ford graduated from Chicago’s Hering Medical College in 1899 and practiced briefly in Alabama before coming to Denver in 1902. She was Colorado’s first Black female doctor and until her death remained the only such physician in Denver. Her patients came from a variety of ethnic backgrounds, and she served as a staff member at Denver General Hospital. In 1984, the house was moved approximately thirteen blocks to its present location in order to save it from demolition. It is now the home of the Black American West Museum.

GEBHARD MANSION

2253 Downing St.

National Register 10/1/1992, 5DV.202.15

 

Located within the San Rafael Historic District, the well-preserved 1883 Gebhard Mansion is considered to be one of Denver’s finest residential examples of the Italianate style. The hipped roof of the two-story brick building is accented with several decorative gables and there is a deep bracketed cornice. The facade features an elaborate porch and a prominent two-story corner bay topped with a conical roof. The original owner, Henry Gebhard, organized the Colorado Packing Provision Company in 1890, an enterprise that soon became the largest packer of pork and beef in Colorado.
