The houses in the neighborhood were built to take advantage of the sweeping views of the mountains, valley, university and town. The circling drives, lots and terraces of the subdivision were as critical to the character of the neighborhood as was the the careful siting of the houses. The house is also significant for its association with several prominent Boulder citizens, many of whom had significant associations with the University of Colorado. Two of the longest residents were the Linsley and Levitt families., As early as 1908, Cecil Holmes was listed as a resident of the house. She and her husband, Horace B. Holmes owned the house in 1910. He was an assayer and later involved with the "Real Estate Mines and Investment Company". Cecil sold the property in 1912 to Frederick H. Mcelhone. (Horace died at their home at 1003 Spruce Street in March 1917 from pneumonia, and his son Horace B. Holmes II was born four months later.), By 1916 Charles Linsley was the owner. Linsley was president of the Boulder Investment Company soon after he arrived in town in 1906. He was an insurance writer for many years, but was known as one of the "movers and shakers" in Boulder during the 1910s and 1920s. He helped to organize the Boulder Country Club. He was active in many Boulder organizations, including the Rotarians, Masons and Elks. He supported Chautauqua and the Hospital., Other residents of the house included Arthur H. Smith from 1940-1943; Henry A. Poppen, a Chinese language teacher at the Navy Language school at the University of Colorado who resided there in 1946; and Richard Bruner, who was a mortician from Pueblo who also attended the University. Alan P. Olson, Linsely's grandson; Alston B. Earle, and John D. Willyard also resided there over the years. Willyard sold the house to Paul and Nancy Levitt in 1966, who have remained there to this day. Paul Levitt is a professor of English at the Univesity of Colorado and is the author of several plays and books. Nancy Levitt taught at Fairview High School from 1972-1973 and was Assistant Director of Alumni Relations from 1981-1990. She is a founding member of the Boulder Bach festival.
