Haskell House
Denver County
The two-story brick townhouse was built in 1892 by Reverend Thomas N. Haskell, the founder of Colorado College. Designed by Robert G. Balcomb and Eugene R. Rice, the narrow facade reflects an eclectic mix of Victorian era architectural detailing.
Two rounded arches with brick voussoirs dominate the first level, and the second floor features a large central bay window and an ornate frieze at the cornice level. The front slope of the steeply pitched side gabled roof is intersected by a large gable roofed dormer.
