Henry K. & Mary E. Shaffer House

Larimer County

The Shaffer House is an excellent example of the English-Norman style, a modest simplified version of the Tudor Revival style.  Elements of this style found on the house include a steeply pitched roof, brick walls, multi-pane casement windows, prominent exterior chimney, and the “catslide” gable on the façade with an arched entry.

Completed in 1929, the house was designed and built when the English-Norman Cottage style was at the height of its popularity in Colorado.  The house is the largest example of this style in the western part of Loveland.
