Holland-Thompson Property

Garfield County

The Holland – Thompson Property is significant architecturally between 1886 and 1939 as an excellent example of a Queen Anne style main house and Late Victorian carriage house.  The brick house features the complex geometry, hipped roof with lower cross gables, asymmetrical façade, wraparound porch, dormers, turned spindles, bargeboard, and fields of decorative shingles that characterize the Queen Anne style.

The house was expanded to accommodate an extended family by 1910.  Character-defining features of the Late Victorian style found on the carriage house include a brick exterior, segmental arch window and door openings, half-hexagon roof dormers, and decorative wood shingles.
