Fay House
Chaffee County
The ca. 1882 William and Anna Fay house is one of the dwellings built during the first decade of development in Buena Vista and is an important example of local Queen Anne-style design.
As one of the more ornately decorated houses of the early days, the building reflected the growing sophistication of the community’s architecture. A remodeling of the west façade between 1896 and 1902 included adding the full-width front porch with numerous decorative elements, such as turned wood spindles, brackets, shingled pediment, and frieze.
