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.
