Delos Allen Chappell House
Denver County
Delos Allen Chappell was closely associated with the early development of the coal and coke industry in Colorado and founded the Victor Fuel Company.
The 1895 house, constructed for Chappell and his wife, May, only two years after the onset of the Silver Crash economic depression, represents the beginning of the trend away from the flamboyance of the Victorian era and the move toward the restraint of the Neoclassical style. The architect responsible for the design is believed to be Frank S. Snell.
