Aspen Restoration

At the core of this Aspen residence is a Queen Anne Victorian ordered from George F. Barber’s mail-order catalog and assembled on site, now listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Workshop/APD restored the house and built beneath and beside it, shoring it in place to add a new basement and a gabled living pavilion ringed by multi-stem aspens. Inside, gouged and blackened wood and hand-carved doors bring the Victorian forward, and the basement takes its light and textures from the town’s silver mines.
