326 Garfield Ave

Built in 1888, 326 Garfield Ave was in the Dinkel family for over eighty years, possibly as a rental property. The original owner, successful retailer and town pioneer W.M. Dinkel, first held the property with Ward Tucker's brother Reese. Reese Tucker was a silver miner in Aspen, and served as Carbondale's second mayor from 1888 to 1889. He sold his half-interest in the block 13 lots to William Dinkel in 1914. This Late Victorian home has a "t"-shaped floor plan that was later expanded with rear additions which appear to be over 50 years old. The home exhibits a good degree of architectural integrity, and conveys its historic age in design details.
