Historical Background -
Information on file at the City of Greeley Museums indicates that this house was built by B.D. Stanton in 1885. That document (Historical Building Survey) quotes unidentified newspaper articles concerning the dwelling:
February 1885. “A two story house for B.D. Stanton, with the following particulars, bay windows, extending from foundation to roof; fancy gables and veranda; parlor 14 X 17; bedroom 12 X 17 feet; dining room 13 X 17 feet; kitchen 13 ½ X 12 feet; pantry 4 X 10 feet; all on the first floor. The second floor will contain three bedrooms, or chambers; no. 1, 17 X 14 ½ feet; no. 2, 12 X 12 feet; no. 3, 13 X 12. The house is to be finished as soon as the weather permits.”
June 1885. “The stone foundation of B.D. Stanton’s new house on 9th St. adjoining W.H. Nice’s place is finished and the contractor is now waiting for brick. Messrs Camp and Nusbaum are now building the walls.
26 August 1885. “B.D. Stanton is moving into his new house on 9th St., which is supplied with all modern conveniences.”
22 April 1897. “Judge and Mrs. Scott and family have moved into the Stanton residence on 9th Street next door to F.E. Smith.”
James C. Scott was the son of Dr. James S. Scott, who was the official physician of the Union Colony. David Boyd wrote in 1890 that “James C. has the genius for money-making and is rapidly becoming, if he is not, one of our wealthiest men. He was county judge for three terms and a most just one.” City directories indicate that the Scotts lived here through 1922. Apartments were indicated at this address from 1928 through at least 1970.
