The Samuel I. Hallett House is located on West Francis Avenue in Aspen, Colorado, United States. It is a timber frame structure built in the late 19th century. In 1987 it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It was originally a log cabin built by one of the miners who came to Aspen in its earliest years of settlement, during the Colorado Silver Boom. Samuel I. Hallett, who later expanded it, was an officer of the Smuggler Mine,〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.historycolorado.org/oahp/pitkin-county )〕 one of Aspen's largest and most lucrative. When its owners renovated it in the mid-20th century, they discovered the remnants of the original log cabin. Since then it has been through multiple owners, and remains a private residence. ==Building== The house is located at the northeast corner of West Francis and North Fourth streets in Aspen's residential West End. All the neighboring properties are houses, generally of a more modern construction. Many are surrounded by mature trees. The land is generally level, midway between the slopes of Aspen Mountain to the south and the Roaring Fork River to the north. A stone mounting block with the name "Hallett" on it is located at the street. The building itself occupies a narrow lot ending at the alley in the middle of the block. It has a one-and-a-half-story L-shaped front-gabled main block, sided in clapboard〔 and topped with a shingled roof. A short cross-gabled section projects from the east side, with a longer cross-gable at the northwest corner. North of the house is a rear outbuilding, in a style similar to the main house.〔 On the three sides of the main block is a wraparound porch. It has a shed roof supported by square wooden pillars that rise from the tiled deck. Fenestration on the first floor consists of narrow casement and one-over-oine double-hung sash windows. Fish-scale shingles side the gable apexes.〔 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「Samuel I. Hallett House」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
