Healy House and Dexter Cabin

National Historic Landmark
Good forHistory buffs

Two structures, one address, two completely different ideas about what money looks like. The Healy House — built in 1878 by August R. Meyer, a mining engineer from St. Louis — started as a two-story home, gained a third story in 1898 to house boarders, mostly schoolteachers, and eventually became Daniel Healy's operation. Next door sits the Dexter Cabin, built for James V. Dexter: plain outside, and by every account that survives, remarkably ornate within. Both are open as museums under History Colorado.
