In 1879 Robert Spotswood bought 560 acres on the south side of Bear Creek in the Platte Valley south of Denver and moved onto the land in 1880.
Spotswood sold the Valley Stock Farm and by 1910 it was known as the MacRose Stock Farm.
After Col. Spotswood's death his widow, Jessie Broad Spotswood, remarried in 1912 to Edward V. Bowles, Sr., the son of Littleton pioneer Joseph W. Bowles, and the couple moved to 1038 West 13th Avenue in Denver.
