1225 Pennsylvania
Street
Architectural Style: Craftsman
Architect: Willis Adams Marean and Albert Julius Norton
Built: 1906
This beautiful
home was built in the Craftsman style for Mary Byers Robinson. Robinson
was the daughter of William Byers, owner of the Rocky Mountain News,
and wife of W.F. Robinson, the founder of a printing company. The
Craftsman style was simpler and encouraged handcrafted work and
discouraged machine-made items.
The Robinson
home displays a low-pitched, gabled
roof, wide overhanging eaves,
and exposed roof rafters.
A mix of blond (light) brick, dark wood, and stucco
highlight the design. A two-story bay
window, hipped roof
and wooden corbels can
be seen from the street.
