Frederick W. Neef House

Denver County

Built in 1886, the Neff House is a well-executed version of the Queen Anne / Eastlake style.  The primary building material is brick, and there is a profusion of ornately decorated gables, roof forms, and window types.

Frederick W. Neef House

Although not substantiated, there are strong indications that the house was not designed by an architect, but by a builder using an architect’s pattern book.  Frederick W. Neef was an early Denver businessman and owner of the Neef Brothers Brewery, a successful enterprise in early Denver.
