Historical Background -
This house is not shown on the 1895 Sanborn map, but is present on the 1901 map. A 1902 photograph of the house in the Greeley Tribune indicates that this was the residence of City Marshall D.F. Camp. Camp, who was born in 1845, also worked as a bricklayer and contractor and as chief of the fire department. He married Cora E. Rocheford in 1887. Mr. Camp was a Civil War veteran. From 1906 to at least 1950, this was the residence of Mrs. C. Faulkner. In 1960 the house was indicated as vacant in the city directory. The 1968 Sanborn map shows the building being used as both a store and a dwelling. In 1970 the Knit Inn was housed here.
