Summary
Exterior photograph of the Charles Wheeler house in Denver , Colorado . Charles Wheeler built his north Denver house in 1875 . Wheeler platted the area in which the house sits as the Wheeler Subdivision of Witter's North Denver Addition , promoted the North Denver area , sold property , and constructed a seven-story office building . As a further expression of his confidence in the new city and the Highlands community , Wheeler constructed his own house in the addition and occupied it until 1893 . Charles Wheeler made his reputation and his wealth as a respected and influential executive of several Denver-based railroads . ,The Wheeler House is one of the oldest houses in the Highlands area of Denver and is a rare surviving example of what was once a common architectural type in early Denver-the wood frame , gabled-L plan , one-story house . The house retains common Victorian era stylistic and construction elements that make it an important reminder of the pre-1880 period .
