George Ostermiller, a German-speaking immigrant from Russia, likely built this modest Globeville home c.1905. The 1910 Federal census shows Ostermiller, his wife Lizzie and two children living here. George immigrated to the United States in 1899 and worked as a car repairman for the nearby railroad. His wife Lizzie immigrated from Russia in 1900 and married George a year later. The Ostermillers sold the property in 1917 to next door neighbor Philip Hahn, another German from Russia. Hahn used the house as a rental property, renting to packing house worker George Nazarenus and his family. Nazarenus, another German-speaking immigrant from Russia, later built a home a block away on Grant Street. The Hahn's daughter Christina and her husband Harry McIntosh rented 4301 Lincoln Street beginning in 1924, before becoming its owners in 1937. Harry worked as a helper with the railroad before becoming a boiler inspector with the city.
