The Shilling–Lamb House, also sometimes referred to as Victoria House, is located on North Second Street in Aspen, Colorado, United States. It is a wood frame structure in the Queen Anne architectural style built around 1890.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.historycolorado.org/oahp/pitkin-county )〕 In 1987 it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It is unique among Aspen's Queen Anne houses both for its minimal decoration and its corner tower. The name comes from its first two occupants. In the later 20th century it was the home of Edgar Stanton, a cofounder of the Aspen Music Festival and School who established its training program for recording engineers. It has remained a private residence, largely intact from the time of its construction. ==Building== The house is located on the north fringe of Aspen's residential West End, on the west side of North Second between West Smuggler Street and Lake Avenue. It is surrounded by other houses, most of a more modern construction, but another surviving Victorian residence, the Newberry House, also listed on the Register, is located a block to the east. Tall mature trees provide shade throughout the neighborhood, which has generally level terrain, sloping very slightly to the Roaring Fork River to the north. Across the street a small playground faces the house on an otherwise undeveloped triangular lot. A plain wooden picket fence sets off the house from the street. It is a two-story wood frame house on a high sandstone foundation. It is mostly sided with clapboard except in the fields of its cross-gabled roofs, which use wood "dog-ear" shingles, common in the city. On the southeast corner is a large octagonal tower with a conical roof. Like the main block its roof is shingled.〔〔 North of the tower a porch runs across the east (front) facade at the first story. It has a shed roof supported by wooden piers with decorative woodwork between them, crossed by a gable sheltering the main entrance. An open porch is located along the rear. All windows are one-over-one double-hung sash windows, except for the second story of the northeast facet of the tower, which has a single-pane window. A small louvered vent is in the uppermost cross-gable field.〔〔 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「Shilling–Lamb House」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
