Summary
Exterior photograph of the Grafton or the Adline Apartments located in Denver , Colorado . Designed by James Murdoch , The Grafton is a good example of a late Victorian era apartment building , reflecting eclectic architectural detailing . The facade of the 1890 brick building is distinguished by several two-story semicircular bays , with two-tiered porches located between the bays . The large second floor windows are set in rounded stone arches , and numerous gabled dormers punctuate the wood shingled mansard-like roof . The building was reportedly constructed as a "family hotel " or "elite boarding house " for Albert W . Brewster , who is credited with laying out the towns of La Veta , Garland , and Alamosa for the Denver and Rio Grande Railroad .
