Historical Background -
The first owner of the house, Caroline P. Baldwin, purchased the property in 1910 and had the house built by 1913. She sold the house to W.E. Freeman, a local banker and rancher, in 1916. Freeman became a banker in Briggsdale, where he managed farm and ranch interests. The bank dissolved in 1937, after which he continued in agricultural pursuits. He lived there until 1924, when he sold it to James R. McClelland. McClelland worked as an Assistant Cashier at Union National Bank. McClelland sold the house to Harry Hibbs, owner of Hibbs Clothing Company in 1930. Hibbs, in turn, sold it to an employee of Hibbs Clothing Company, Herman T. Ise, who lived in the house until 1941, when he sold it to Wendell K. and Ruth M. Beard. Wendell Beard worked on the faculty of Greeley High School, serving as a vocational counselor and later as principal. Beard sold the house to Theo and Hope Tegtman in 1954. Tegtman served as deputy sheriff of Weld County during the time he lived in the house from 1954 until 1957.
