The Stonehocker Farmhouse is rich with the history of Northglenn. It
was built in the late 1800's and is the only brick farmhouse remaining
in Adams County. It is filled with artifacts from various time periods
that it has lived through, including a beautiful square grand
piano, antique furniture, collectible items donated from members of
families that had lived in the farmhouse in the past as well as many
community members. The farmhouse was built with amazing precision in
its architecture, a piece of one of the original walls can be seen as
it was originally built, with the lathe, plaster and horse hair
exposed. The house has been renovated and brought back to its original
form. For example, the original wallpaper was replaced with wallpaper
that closely imitated the original. Walls have been repaired or
rebuilt. The original floors and woodwork were repaired and brought
back to life. The backporch or mud room had to be taken down and
replaced as originally built . The wraparound porch had been vandalized
and was replaced. The garage as well had to be rebuilt and was
recreated exactly as originally built. |
