Barnes-Perry Residence

Jefferson County

Associated with the early planning and development of Golden, the 1865 residence survives as one of its earliest dwellings.  The Italianate style is reflected in the two-story brick dwelling’s low-pitched roof, wide overhanging eaves supported by elaborate paired brackets, and tall narrow windows with curved window crowns.

Barnes-Perry Residence

The original owner, wealthy local merchant David Barnes, introduced this popular residential architectural style to Golden.  Despite additions to the rear, it is one of the few Italianate houses in Golden that has not undergone extensive alterations.
