Property Description
The Harry C. James Residence, located at 685 N Emerson Street in Denver's Capitol Hill neighborhood, was officially listed on the National Register of Historic Places on December 15, recognizing both its architectural and cultural significance. Built in 1900 during the rise of Denver's City Beautiful movement, the home is a rare and well-preserved example of Italian Renaissance residential architecture-featuring hallmark details like a low-pitched hip roof, arched first-story windows, and an asymmetrical layout. Designed by prominent architect George Louis Bettcher, it stands out among early 20th-century Denver homes, especially as a 12,500 sf corner-lot estate in the East Seventh Avenue Historic District.
Beyond its architectural importance, the home holds deep personal and cultural value as the longtime residence of Dana Crawford, a pioneering preservationist who helped transform and protect Denver's historic core, including Larimer Square and Union Station.. Near parks, coffee shops, restaurants and more. Truly spectacular!
