Hornbek House
Teller County
Adaline Hornbek was one of the early settlers of the region west of Pikes Peak, homesteading the property in 1878. Located within Florissant Fossil Beds National Monument, the house is one of the best surviving examples of domestic log architecture in the Rocky Mountain Region.
Hornbek House.
The walls of the 1½-story dwelling are of massive squared logs with V-notched joints. The steeply pitched gable roof is cedar shingled. The house appears to have been constructed in three stages, with its wings resulting in an irregular floor plan.
