Description
This building is found early on while hiking the South Mesa Trailhead in Eldorado Canyon, near Boulder, Colorado. I revisited the site and gathered this information about the history of this old stone edifice:
Doudy-Debacker-Dunn House
The stone building is all that remains of this historic Doudy-Debacker-Dunn Househomesite. Sylvester Doudy, who was the first settler in the area built the original wooden portion of the house sometime around 1858. Doudy raised cattle and built and operated both a gristmill and a sawmill. The catastrophic flood of 1864 scoured the valley, washing out the mills, but the house stood fast.
Subsequent owners made additions to the house. The city of Boulder purchased the house in 1969 and subsequently removed the original cabin due to its unsafe condition. The remaining structure is now part of the Boulder open space land system.
