3190 W. 112th Ave., Northglenn, COThe Thede Farmhouse is historically significant for its long association with agriculture in this area. Development and encroaching sprawl from Denver suburbs have changed the nature of this region from primarily agricultural to mainly suburban residential. The Thede Farmhouse and its 9.9 surrounding acres are some of the last undeveloped fields of this size within the Northglenn city limits. The Thede Farmhouse is also architecturally significant as the only remaining domestic structure in the city of Northglenn which was constructed prior to 1950. For a period of time during the 1960s and 1970s, the city commonly bought older structures and burned them for fire department drills. Other historic structures were simply allowed to deteriorate and be destroyed by new development. As a well-built example of early turn of the century Queen Anne style architecture, the Thede Farmhouse literally stands alone in the city of Northglenn. The period of significance of 1903 to 1948 was chosen to represent a period of the traditional historical use of this farm, commencing with the construction of the Thede Farmhouse and ending fifty years before today's date.
