Cranmer House, Historical residence in Cherry Street, Denver, US.
Cranmer House is a two-story residence with stuccoed walls in Italian Renaissance style, designed by architect Jacques Benedict in 1917. The property retains its original architectural features and sits on less than one acre of land.
The house was built in 1917 for George E. Cranmer, a city official who oversaw Denver's parks and public improvements. In the late 1920s, architect Burnham Hoyt added architectural elements including a dormer that enhanced the building's design.
The house displays Italian Renaissance style rarely seen in Denver residential neighborhoods. Visitors can observe the refined facade details and classical proportions that shaped the character of the Cherry Street area.
The house stands at 200 Cherry Street in Denver, on a residential block. It is a private home, so visitors see it from the public sidewalk; the stucco facade and the dormer added in the late 1920s are best viewed from across the street.
The late-1920s addition, dormer included, was the work of Burnham Hoyt, a different architect from Jacques Benedict, who designed the original 1917 house. Hoyt later designed Denver's Red Rocks Park amphitheatre and the Boettcher Memorial Tropical Conservatory.
