Exterior view of the house at 127 West Fourth Street on "Millionaires' Row" Leadville, Colorado, also known as the "House with the Eye." The wood frame house was built in 1879, designed by architect Eugene Robitaille with clapboard siding and a swept dormer with stained glass window of the eye from Colorado's state seal. Other features include decorative gables with a diamond pattern on the porch gable, spool and spindle porch frieze and turned posts, a wood panel entry door with two rectangular and two square glass panels and a stained glass window to the left of the door. Several metal bed frames are on the porch and a mailbox hangs on the right side of the door. Caroline Bancroft stands in front of a wood frame house on the left, which ahs a projecting bay window. She looks at the camera and wears a fur coat, plaid skirt, turban hat, glasses, and has a purse in her right hand. The front end of an automobile is in the right foreground.
