2027 Galena St.
Built: 1892 • Landmarked: 2001

This house was designed and built by Donald Fletcher for his speculative community east of Denver, the town of Fletcher, which was incorporated in 1891. The name of this community later changed from Fletcher to Aurora. The distinctive decorative elements of the house, including the bar and circle trim and fish scale shingles on the front of the house, are well preserved and prominent, and the original rhyolite doorsill and windowsills are still in place. This is an extraordinary example of later Victorian architecture in Aurora. The house is now privately owned as a residence.
