 BE IT EVER SO HUMBLE: The Colorado Bungalow and Craftsman House
By Niki Hayden
Architect Jim Marsden is checking the progress of his patient. It’s an
early twentieth century home facing surgery: a garage job, total family room
and rear master bedroom lift. This modest family home has had years rolled back to reveal roots of
a Colorado Craftsman style. Jim will tell you he had good bones to build upon. He admires the river rock
foundations, the wide front porch with tapered pillars. Added rooms may have
turned a modest home into a larger, modern day showpiece. But it’s
the materials and carpentry--river rocks, bricks, woodwork and built-in
shelves that link this home to its humble origin.
