The museum is her former home and presents exhibits interpreting her life, Victorian Denver and historic preservation.

The house was designed by architect William A. Lang,[2] and built in 1889, incorporating several popular styles of the period, including Queen Anne style architecture in the United States and Richardsonian Romanesque for the original owners Isaac and Mary Large.

After the repeal of the Sherman Silver Purchase Act in 1893, the Large family sold the house.

While restoring the home, the group used architectural research, paint chip analysis, and original photographs taken in 1910 as guides.

The home is owned by Historic Denver, Inc., and public tours are run daily for a fee.
