William Lang Townhouse
Denver County
This 1890 residence is one of five townhouses constructed in the 1600 block of Washington St. designed by prolific Denver architect William Lang. Noted for his use of an eclectic mix of architectural detailing, Lang occupied this residence until the Silver Crash of 1893 apparently ended his Denver career.
The symmetrical composition of the narrow sandstone façade includes two arched openings at the first level, a band of five tall windows at the second level, and an unusual stepped gable end with ornate carvings located above a band of three windows at the third level.
