William Lang designed this home in 1889 for Walter Dunning, a real estate developer.  Mr. Dunning sold the home nine years later to Mitchell Benedict.  The Benedicts owned the home until 1930, but rented it to others beginning in 1903.  After the 1930 the house changed hands many times.  It was used as a hotel, apartment building, office and a rest home.  It currently houses law offices on the first floor and large apartments on the second and third floors and in the carriage house.  The house is made of rusticated Castle Rock rhyolite.  Notice both the rounded and angled towers and mixture of window styles.  It is one of the best examples of Richardsonian Romanesque buildings in Denver.
