Photograph of an Mayan calendar in the exterior wall of the Dunwoody House/ La Loma Restuarant located in Denver, Colorado. Built in 1889, the William J. Dunwoody house is significant for its high-quality craftsmanship and for its namesake, who was a successful Denver businessman. Originally from Poughkeepsie, New York, William Dunwoody first traveled to Colorado to recover from tuberculosis. Eventually he and his brother founded the Dunwoody Soap Company in Denver. The house was built by Dunwoody in 1889 and remained in his family until 1960. After 1974 it became the location of a well-known Denver restaurant.
