The Perrenoud has to be one of the most gorgeous and well preserved turn of the century apartment buildings in Denver. Located at 836 East 17th Avenue in the Uptown area Capitol Hill, The Perrenoud was designed by architect Frank Snell and was built in 1901. The Perrenoud family arrived in Denver in 1862. The patriarch of the family, John Perrenoud died in Denver in 1900 at the age of 91. Perrenoud had 3 daughters. Together the 3 sisters built the grand and beautiful Perrenoud building in 1901, operating it initially in the style of a private club. The Perrenoud had a kitchen and full time chef, a formal dining room, a ballroom and an on site laundry service. All three of the sisters also lived at The Perrenoud in units 1A, 2B, and 2A. The Perrenoud remained in the family as apa...
The Denver Turnverein is a building that is particularly noticeable. For one reason, located at 1570 Clarkson Street, it backs to the parking lot of Denver's District 6 Police Station, so there are always a plethora of police cruisers parked behind the building.In German, Turner means gymnast, and Verein is a name for as association of sorts. So, loosely translated Denver Turnverein means Denver's Gymnastic Association. In the early 1800's, in Germany, German Turners gathered to practice their sport and discuss politics. After the German Revolution of 1848, thousands of Germans immigrated to the United States. Many came to Colorado because of the Gold Rush. The first Denver Turnverein was founded in 1864 at 2...
Located at 1001-1020 E. 17th Avenue, The Grafton is a truly handsome example of Historic Victorian architecture for apartment buildings. Designed by architect James Murdoch, The Grafton was built in 1890 in a north part of the Historic Neighborhood of Capitol Hill commonly known as Uptown. The exterior facade of The Grafton is very unique. For me personally, it is like looking at something out of a fairy tale. I think that The Grafton is sensationally beautiful. The exterior has several two-story turret like bays, with porches constructed between the bays. The large windows are set in stone, and there are several gabled dormers that are finished with fish sca...
The Historic Schlessinger House is yet another beauty designed by well known Historic Denver architect William Lang. I will go into Lang's story in a future blog, but, suffice it to say that in his short career, William Lang designed more then 250 buildings in Denver. Lang's creations range from simple cottages to some of the most elaborate mansions in Denver. Built in 1890, the Historic Schlessinger House was purchased in 1897 by her namesake, Timothy S. Schlessinger, a prominent Denver businessman. The Schlessinger House exhibits the architect's love of eclectic and complex design. The exterior of the Historic Schlessinger House was constructed with a rusticated brick, which very possibly could have been made specifically for William Lang and the Schlessinger House. Also present ...
The Historic Delos Allen Chappell House is located at 1555 Race Street and was built in 1895. Delos Allen Chappell was one of Denver's wealthiest residents at the turn of the last century and was a descendant of the American Revolutionary War hero, Ethan Allen. Although the Historic Delos Allen Chappell House was designed by Frank Snell and built by the Burleigh Building Company, Delos Allen Chappell was her first resident and her namesake.Construction on the Delos Allen Chappell House was started two years AFTER the Silver Crash of 1893. The Denver economy was weak and the Delos Allen Chappell House served as the beginning of the move away from the popular more elaborate Victorian style of the day and a shift towards the Neoclassical style represented in the Historic Delos Allen Chap...
