Healy House and Dexter Cabin, CO

Both the Healy House and Dexter Cabin give visitors a glimpse into the lavish Victorian wealth that was made in Leadville during the silver mining boom era. While Dexter Cabin looks like any other mining cabin, the inside is fit for its wealthy builder and resident, James Dexter. Dexter entertained guests in the elegant parlor, and running water in his own bathtub further attests to his status.

The Healy House was a boarding house owned by Daniel Healy, and schoolteachers and railroad workers generally boarded at this home. Visitors can peek into the bedrooms of these boarders and see what types of lives they led. The dining room features china in the cabinet and a table large enough to feed the boarders.
