Samuel H. Dobbins and Hannah A. Dobbins, originally from Ohio, resided in Missouri for several years during which time Mr. Dobbins was engaged in the dry goods business. During his early years, Mr. Dobbins developed an asthmatic condition and made plans to move to Colorado, hoping the mild climate would relieve his condition. In late 1873, he had a consignment of goods shipped to Niwot where he planned to open a general store. When they arrived, they discovered the man charged with watching their merchandise had vanished, taking the goods with him. Mr. Dobbins procured another stock of goods and kept his store in Niwot for a year. In 1874, he moved his family and store to Longmont. The house remained in the Dobbins' family for over 65 years.
