GEORGE SCHMIDT HOUSE / BREWMASTER'S HOUSE ZANG BREWERY2345 7th St.National Register 10/29/1976, 5DV.200 Designed by William Quayle, this High Victorian Queen Anne style home dates from the late 1880s. The original owner was George Schmidt, brewmaster for the Zang Brewery. The two-story house is built of red brick and has a rusticated stone foundation. The interior features a carved oak stairway, hand-grained woodwork and doors, carved hardwood mantels, and built-in cabinets. Dryland farms dotted the landscape in the late 1800s, and in 1885 when Adolph Zang bought the area in the vicinity of 120th and Olde Wadsworth, the train stop there became known as Zang's Spur, memorializing the spur off of the main railroad line where locally grown grains would be loaded into railroad cars for delivery to the Zang Brewing Co. in Denver. Ultimately, Zang bought 4,000 acres of land in the area for his Elmwood Stock Farm where he bred Percheron horses, and tended fruit orchards. Tenant farmers worked half the land in dryland crops and half in irrigated farming, and there are reports of a large turkey operation on the southwest portion of the property. Zang's land of yesteryear is today's Broomfield. This painting is the Zang Brewmeister Mansion located in Denver at I25 and Speer Boulevard.
