Interior photograph of a stained glass window in the Schlessinger House, located in Denver, Colorado. Designed in 1890 by William Lang, an important Denver architect, the house was purchased in 1897 by Timothy S. Schlessinger, a prominent local businessman. The house is constructed of pseudo-rusticated brick, which may have been specially made for Lang. The design is eclectic, expressing the architect's love of complexity and contradiction. There are several stained glass windows and exterior decorative carvings with floral and leaf motifs.
