Davis Waite House, Historic residence in Aspen, United States
The Davis Waite House features Victorian wooden architecture with decorative elements, set on the corner of West Francis and North Second streets.
Francis Orange constructed this house in 1888 during Aspen's silver mining period, before Davis Hanson Waite acquired it and established the Aspen Weekly Times.
The property includes one of the remaining original log cabins of Aspen, now covered in clapboard, reflecting the building methods of early settlers.
The main two-story residence connects to a modern outbuilding, while maintaining its position in the National Register of Historic Places since 1987.
Herbert Bayer, an Austrian architect who influenced Aspen's transformation, designed the current picket fence during his ownership of the property.
