McCreery House

Larimer County

The circa 1892 William H. McCreery House is an important local interpretation of the Orson S. Fowler Octagonal Movement of the 1850s.  Designed and contracted by McCreery, its hexagonal floor plan is a modification of the eight-sided dwellings popularized by Fowler.

McCreery House

The mansard roofed brick residence is a variation of the Second Empire style often referred to as Victorian Eclectic.  Its façade is distinguished by a two-story hexagonal corner tower and a wrap around porch.  The McCreery family settled in the area in 1874, and McCreery served as the first pastor of Loveland’s United Presbyterian Church.
