Nichols House
Las Animas County
One of the finest residences erected in early 20th century Trinidad, the noted architectural firm of Isaac Hamilton and William Mason Rapp designed the Nichols House. The most influential architects in Trinidad, the Rapp brothers designed many of the city’s highly significant buildings, including churches, commercial blocks, and residences.

This 1904 house is believed to be the firm’s most distinguished residential commission, noted for the quality of its stonework, the multiple shingled gables, and a substantial wrap-around porch. The building is representative of transitional eclectic architecture combining Late Victorian influences with elements from early 20th century styles.
