Bowman House / Yamecila (Savio House)
Denver County
Yamecila, an eclectic design with Colonial Revival features, was originally designed in 1910 by and for Denver architect William Norman Bowman.
The three-acre property consists of the house with an attached one-story chapel and dormitory and a small detached two-story house. The house is the only large residential building in the Barnum subdivision of Denver. In 1924, the property was purchased by the Sisters of St. Francis for a tuberculosis sanitarium (1924-41) and the chapel, dormitory and small house were added. The present facility, Savio House, is a home and educational facility for delinquent children.
