History

The house was built in 1872 for Edwin S. Nettleton, a member of the Union Colony of Colorado who designed canals.[2] When Nettleton died in 1901, the house was acquired by Alexander Mead. His daughter, Ella Mead, was a female physician who "established one of the first birth control clinics" in the United States in 1920.[2]

Architectural significance

The house was designed in the Italianate architectural style. It has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since April 2, 2002.[1]
