Tears-McFarlane House

Denver County

Built in 1899 on the northern edge of Denver’s Cheesman Park, the fashionable Tears-McFarlane House is an important Capitol Hill landmark, significant both for its architectural flourishes and its association with the development of the neighborhood. 

Since 2001, the house has been the focus of an intensive restoration effort. This year, Capitol Hill United Neighborhoods, Inc. will use SHF funding to repair and restore a decorative railing and exterior windows on the second and third floors. These finishing touches will complete restoration of the building’s facade—a proud accomplishment for a community that has work so lovingly to bring the house to its turn-of-the-century incarnation.

This site is listed in the National Register of Historic Places.
