Humphrey House / Kinnikinnik Ranch

Interesting architectural elements on the façade include a prominent bay window and a gabled dormer in the steeply pitched hipped roof.  In 1912, a portion of the original 160 acre homestead became Filius Park, a Denver Mountain Park.  The remaining property was purchased by the Humphrey family in 1920.
