John Wolfe House
El Paso County
The 1887 John Wolfe House property illustrates the evolution of the local area from agriculture and ranching to a residential neighborhood. John Wolfe originally homesteaded land for agricultural use, transitioned from rancher to miner, and then in 1887 began selling parcels of his property for residential development.

This district, with the house, yard, brick garage and driveway layout, represents that evolution. The stone dugout, built circa 1887, is a significant example of its type and construction. The Wolfe House, built circa 1896, is an excellent example of a vernacular Victorian residence using locally produced brick.
