The Newberry House, also known as the Judge Shaw House, is located on Lake Avenue in Aspen, Colorado, United States. It is a wooden structure in the Shingle Style built around 1890. In 1987 it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places along with other properties in the city. It incorporates an unusual carriage house into its overall design, the only house in Aspen to do so. In 1922 William Shaw, an attorney who had specialized in water law, moved in, following his ascension to the city's judgeship the previous year. He remained in the house until 1969, during which time Aspen went from a depressed former mining town to a bustling, glamorous ski resort, a process he played a small role in. After his tenure, the house passed to other owners, eventually becoming one of several Aspen properties owned by Jack Nicholson, one of the celebrities who had early on been drawn to Aspen as a retreat, until he sold it in 2013. It has remained intact with few alterations. ==Building== The house occupies a lot on the north side of Lake Avenue, the northernmost street in Aspen's predominantly residential West End, at the oblique three-way intersection Lake makes with North First and West Smuggler streets. The terrain is generally level, sloping slightly towards the Roaring Fork River to the north. To the south and west are houses generally of a similar scale, or larger, and more modern construction. On the north and east is a small lake and woodlands, and north of them the river. Tall mature trees shade many of the houses.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.bing.com/maps/default.aspx?v=2&cp=39.195~-106.822778&style=o&lvl=15&sp=Point.39.195_-106.822778_Newberry%20House___ )〕 The house itself is a two-and-a-half-story wood frame structure on a brick foundation. It is sided in clapboard on the first story, shingles on the second and fishscale shingles in the attic gable field. At the top is a complex gabled roof pierced by a brick chimney. A low iron fence and gate separates the house from the street.〔 On the three-bay south (front) facade, the western two bays are on a small projecting section. A veranda begins here and wraps around the house's west side. It has a wooden rail with regular turned posts supporting the slightly flared upper story. Behind it are a double-hung one-over-one sash window and plain wooden door. The upper story has a double one-over-one sash. A wide overhanging eave at the roofline sets off its projecting nested gable, decorated with half-timbers.〔See photo.〕 To the east the single rectangular bay is also on a projecting section. It has a rectangular picture window with decorative muntins along the sides. Above a molded cornice continues from the porch roofline to the east side of the projection. A similar, plainer cornice marks the bottom of the flaring on the second story, where the projection narrows to not much wider than the single one-over-one double-hung sash on that floor. Three smaller one-over-ones are in the main gable apex.〔 On the west side there is a single-pane window under a pent roof next to the porch. Above it is a section with a hip roof and four casement windows. At the rear the carriage house, with four sliding doors, projects from the house.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Newberry House」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
