Conrad Borgens House

Weld County

The 1920 Conrad Borgens House is architecturally significant as a good example of a Craftsman style residence.  Builder and carpenter Conrad Borgens designed and built this house for his family and included Craftsman character-defining features including wood-shingle siding, lap siding, a full-width front porch with massive battered piers, exposed rafter ends, broadly overhanging eaves, multi-light-over-one wood frame sash windows, and gabled dormers with wood shingle siding.
