Photograph of the Beierle Farm, or the Knapff farm main house located near Denver, Colorado. The farm complex consisted of a number of structures that represent late 19th and early 20th century American architectural movements. The circa 1890 main house was an example of Colorado Plains vernacular architecture, a simple 1.5 story wood frame structure with coursed rubblestone foundation, a truncated hipped roof with a flat roof at the apex, and a decorative gabled dormer on the west. Other farm structures included: a chicken coop, a barn, a scale house, and other related structures of varying time periods. The complex exemplified farm evolution and development.
