Thomas House

Did You Know?

Built in 1874, this Greek Revival frame residence is built around the entrance to a mine.  This unique house represents a typical middle class family.  In fact, the house looks virtually the same as when Ben and Marsha Thomas moved to Denver in 1917.  Ben was a local V.P. for a mercantile company.  The house remained in the family until 1987.  It was run as a private museum for three years then was purchased in 1990 by Gilpin Historical Society.
