Yahoo Lifestyle This Historic Stone Home in Colorado by Architect Charles Klauder Can Be Yours for $2.5 Million
You don’t see homes designed by architect Charles Klauder too often, but when you do find them, they tend to be in the Tuscan vernacular.
Nestled in Boulder’s coveted Lower Chautauqua neighborhood is a circa-1924 property designed by the influential architect, who is best known for his work on campus buildings at the University of Colorado campus and as the creator of what’s been coined as “Colorado style.” As a result, Klauder’s aesthetic, which is on fine display here, includes lots of stonework and clay barrel tile roofing resembling terracotta that you’d see in Italy.
