King House and Carriage House

King House and Carriage House Carol M. Highsmith Archive, Library of Congress, Prints and Photographs Division
1891, Miles McGrath, builder. 229 Quincy St. at Routt Ave. (NR)

Splendidly trimmed in red sandstone and Carpenter's Gothic ornament, this three-story, multigabled red brick residence is notable for its large front porch and third-story octagonal tower with a bell-shaped roof. A tiny, second-story porch is suspended from the southwest corner eaves. The variety of window shapes makes this a good example of the Queen Anne Style. The charming, whimsical nature of this house is accentuated by a matching carriage house and a Queen Anne playhouse. The owner, Dr. Alexander King, a native of Glasgow, Scotland, came to Pueblo as a physician for CF&I and served as mayor of Pueblo.
