Tears-McFarlane House
Denver County
Designed in 1898 by architect Frederick Sterner, the three-story Georgian Revival style house is constructed of red brick. Except for the kitchen and baths, all thirteen rooms include a fireplace.
Circa 1897 Daniel W. Tears, for whom the house was built, came to Denver for his health. The Tears were prominent socialites and he was Associate Counsel for the New York Central Railroad. Ida Cruse McFarlane, the wife of a later owner, was one of the founders of the Central City Festival.
