John and Elivera Doud House

The John and Elivera Doud House is an American Foursquare structure with a broad front porch, brick side walls, and rectangular layout. The accompanying carriage house was modified over time to serve as quarters for household staff and later security personnel during official visits.

John Doud acquired the property in 1906, and it gained prominence when his daughter Mamie married Dwight D. Eisenhower there in 1916. The residence later became historically significant during Eisenhower's presidency.

The residence served as a gathering place for political discussions during summer stays and reflected the social prominence of the Doud family in Denver's civic life. Family connections shaped how the space was used and understood by the community.

The residence is located in a residential neighborhood of Denver with good accessibility from downtown. Visitors should check ahead for any access requirements or tour availability before planning a visit.

President Eisenhower suffered a heart attack within these walls in 1955, an event that drew national attention to presidential health and treatment. This medical crisis remains an often-overlooked detail of his time at the residence.
