Built in 1886, the Neef House is a well-executed version of the Queen Anne/Eastlake style. The primary building material is brick, and there is a profusion of ornately decorated gables, roof forms, and window types. Although not substantiated, there are strong indications that the house was not designed by an architect, but by a builder using an architect's pattern book. Frederick W. Neef was an early Denver businessman and owner of the Neef Brothers Brewery, a successful enterprise in early Denver.
