The very name suggests…eclecticism!!!
Many of the houses built in Denver prior to the 1893
Silver Crash are this very popular and romantic style,
which is essentially one of contrasts.
Characterized by asymmetry and contrasting materials,
the first floor construction was frequently stone
or brick. Upper floors were wood and often featured
decorative shingles. Balconies, turrets, and wraparound
porches complete the picture, while art glass, tall
brick chimneys, and textured surfaces added detail
interest.
The Curtis Park
neighborhood contains many fabulous examples of this
interesting and beautiful architectural style. |
