Dr. John Elsner House

The John Elsner House is significant both historically and architecturally. Denver physician John Elsner, who commissioned the construction of the house in 1872, was appointed the first county physician in 1870, organized the Denver Medical Society in 1871, and contributed to the establishment of National Jewish Hospital. Built in the Italianate style, the house is a reminder of the city’s first residential neighborhoods.
