The Historic Schlessinger House is yet another beauty designed by well known Historic Denver architect William Lang. I will go into Lang's story in a future blog, but, suffice it to say that in his short career, William Lang designed more then 250 buildings in Denver. Lang's creations range from simple cottages to some of the most elaborate mansions in Denver.
Built in 1890, the Historic Schlessinger House was purchased in 1897 by her namesake, Timothy S. Schlessinger, a prominent Denver businessman.
The Schlessinger House exhibits the architect's love of eclectic and complex design. The exterior of the Historic Schlessinger House was constructed with a rusticated brick, which very possibly could have been made specifically for William Lang and the Schlessinger House.
Also present are many stained glass windows throughout the home. The exterior of the Historic Schlessinger House is adorned with elaborate floral and leaf carvings.
Located at 1544 Race St, the Historic Schlessinger House is on the same block as the Historic Delos Allen Chappell House and the beautiful Historic Wilbur S. Raymond House also known today as the Bed & Breakfast, Historic Castle Marne. On November 14, 1979, the Historic Schlessinger House was entered into the National Register of Historic Places building - #79000591.
