Samuel and Albina Romano Residence
Jefferson County
The Samuel and Albina Romano Residence is an unusually well-preserved example of the Craftsman architectural style. The cobblestone house embodies the signature characteristics of a Craftsman Bungalow, including its low-pitched gable roof, exposed rafter tails, full-width front porch, battered porch piers, multi-pane windows, and deeply overhanging bracketed eaves.
Beyond this the building possesses high artistic values, including a wraparound front porch with a wood pergola, wood-shingle siding, and diamond-shaped windows. The native cobblestone construction, with large chimneys, provides a Rustic feeling to the property. This makes the property an excellent example of the cobblestone Craftsman style found in the Golden area constructed between the 1910s and the late 1930s.
