About Healy House Museum [-]
History : Built in 1878, the Healy house was the home of one of Leadville’s early founders August Meyer. The house is a virtually unaltered example of late Victorian architecture and is now run by History Colorado as a regional museum. The Dexter cabin, built in 1879 as a hunting lodge, appears to be a simple log cabin but on the inside is incredibly ornate. Both buildings suffer from Leadville’s
harsh climate and high altitude and are in need of repairs.
Location : Both buildings are located in historic Leadville at 912 Harrison Avenue.
Lodging and meals : Lodging was provided by the Leadville Presbyterian Church in their Youth Center, 299 McWethy Drive, Leadville.
Scope of Work : The HistoriCorps team conducted preservation maintenance to both the Dexter Cabin and the Healy House.
Work included : Repairing and repainting the windows, doors, and frames of the Dexter Cabin, Replacing deteriorated board-and-batten siding on the Dexter Cabin, Applying preservative to the exterior walls of the Dexter Cabin, Repairing and Reconstructing the west porch on the Healy House
