Dick-Trapp House

El Paso County

The circa 1907 house is as an excellent example of the Classic Cottage residential type in Colorado Springs.  It embodies the distinctive characteristics of this building type: an elongated hipped roof, a full-width front porch, classical column porch supports, a central hipped roof dormer, and windows with architrave lintel trim.
