Summary |
Mrs. Mary Neosha Williams, who hired carpenter John Spence to built the building over ten years starting in 1886, called her seventeen room home in Evergreen, Colorado, Camp Neosha. When Mrs. Williams daughter Dr. Josepha Williams Douglas and her husband Canon Charles Winfred Douglas owned the building is was called the Homestead, and was used for Episcopal church activities. The building was bought by Mr. and Mrs. D. E. Buchanan in 1938, and they called it Hiwan Ranch. In 1975 it was bought by Jefferson County and became a museum. The house is built of logs and has leaded glass in several windows, with an overhanging roof with dormers. The entrance is covered with a porch, and a tall evergreen, flowers, and a weathered log are in front. |
