Summary
Exterior photograph of Eugene Field House located in Denver , Colorado . Built around 1875 , this house was the home of well-known journalist and writer Eugene Field , who was the managing editor of the Denver Tribune and lived in the house from 1881 to 1883 . After Field moved to Chicago in 1883 , the house fell into disrepair until a local group of preservationists convinced Molly Brown to purchase the house and donate it to the City of Denver in 1927 .

Colfax to its present location in Washington Park , where it has served as a branch of the Denver Public Library system and more recently as the headquarters for Park People .
