This is the 1912 home of William Meikleham, owner of the Old Homestead Bakery. The house was designed by T. Robert Wieger, a well-known Denver architect who also worked with F. O. Stanley to design the Stanley Hotel in Estes Park. The bakery was located just behind the home, on the current site of the Decatur Point apartments. Old Homestead bread was shipped as far away as Wyoming, Nebraska, Kansas and New Mexico, as well as being delivered throughout the city in specially designed wagons.

The year of the construction of this home is the year Robert welcomed his fourth, but only surviving child into the world, Karl Wieger.
