David W. Brown House

Arapahoe County

A rare example of the Prairie style in the Denver area, the house was built and occupied by David Brown, a founder of the Rocky Mountain Fuel Company. George Williamson, who also designed the Daniels and Fisher tower in downtown Denver, was the architect.

 A semi-octagonal turret acts as a focal point and intercepts the horizontal roof.  The interior’s dark wood paneling, spiral staircase, and period chandeliers leave the impression of wealth and position.  The house has 6 fireplaces and 18 rooms.
