New Terrace

This eclectic, Victorian era apartment was built in 1888-1889 and is a prominent neighborhood landmark at the south end of the San Rafael Historic District. The building represents a time when terraces and the concept of apartment living were relatively new to residents of Denver. The eight unit, two-story brick complex is characterized by recessed bays, front porches, and slightly advanced pavilions with various roof shapes - pyramidal, gabled, square bell-cast and stepped parapet - which rise above the main roof slope.
