McCormick House

Las Animas County

The 1891 McCormick House is architecturally significant as a good example of a late 19th century distinctive Queen Anne style house.  The house displays the prominent features of the Queen Anne style in its steeply pitched hipped roof with lower cross gable roofs, round tower, balconies, dormers, arched window, decorative fishscale shingles, and overall discontinuity of the vertical wall plane.

The two-story front porch exhibits a Colonial Revival influence and dominates the recessed center bay of the facade.  The house, which is the largest house in the northwestern part of Trinidad, represents the work of Charles William Bulger and Isaac Hamilton Rapp, who were prominent architects in the area.
