The 1890 Orman-Adams House, designed by prolific Denver architect William Lang, is an excellent example of the Romanesque Revival style.

James B. Orman constructed the building and owned it during his term as Governor from 1901 to 1903.  It was purchased in 1918 by Alva Adams and his family.  Adams served as Colorado’s Governor on three separate occasions.  His son, Alva B. Adams, was a United States Senator.
