Curry-Chucovich House
Denver County
Architect Fred Hale designed the 1887-88 sandstone townhouse using elements of the Queen Anne and Romanesque Revival styles. The townhouse is the oldest remaining residential building in downtown Denver.
Curry-Chucovich House
The house was built for James M. Curry who operated the Douglas County Lava Quarries in Castle Rock. Vasco L. Chucovich, a Yugoslavian immigrant, took possession of the house in 1902. Chucovich invested in real estate but made a substantial income from his gambling connections. He became involved in local politics and counted Mayor Robert Speer among his close friends.
