National Register of Historic Places - Fleming-Hanington House (Fleming House)
Statement of Significant: The Fleming-Hanington House, constructed in 1893, illustrates a unique combination of late Victorian styling with a full temple front. It is one of few residences in Denver that adopts a temple style front, a popular form in the mid-19th century. Because of the fineness of its exterior and interior detailing and its unaltered state, the house remains as an interesting and significant architectural example. Surrounded by late 19th century residences, the Fleming-Hanington House is some- what of an anomaly on the street front, with its massive two-story classical portico. The denticulated pediment with modillions is supported by fluted Doric columns and fluted pilasters. Adding to the effectiveness of the design is the balustraded balcony over the front entrance, supported by paired scrolled brackets underneath. The entranceway is nicely framed by pilasters enclosing niches with keystones. The interior also reflects fine craftsmanship, with its beamed paneled entry of oak, leaded glass windows, paneled dining room with beamed ceiling and unusual art noveau cabinets. The house was built by Josiah M. Fleming but owned by Addie W. Fleming Cooper (believed to be Fleming's daughter), in whose possession it remained for thirty- three years. Josiah Fleming was the general manager of the Daniels and Fisher Dry Good Store in Denver until his retirement in 1898. (Charles MacCallister Willox, who became manager of the Daniels and Fisher store in 1898, resided next door. further information on the business, see the nomination form for Butters House, Denver County, Colorado.) The Flemings moved in 1898, For with the house subsequently occupied by a succession of important businessmen. The most prominent resident was Charles Harrington Hannington, president of the Mountain Motors Company, who lived in the house from 1914-1924. In addition to being a successful businessman, Hanington was also an ardent civic activist. He was president of the Denver School Board from 1933-35. president of the Colorado Museum of Natural History, and president of the Colorado State Historical Society.
