This enclave bordering the downtown business district contains restored individual and row houses of the 1880s and 1890s. The Kingston Row ( DV030.1; 1890, Arthur S. Miller), 401–415 21st Street (at Tremont Place) (NR), is an ornate, three-story, red brick terrace, designed and built in Queen Anne elegance. At either end are semi-cylindrical towers topped with slate roofs and matching finials. The fussy facade fenestration ranges from Richardsonian arched windows to diamond-paned dormers to curved glass in the towers. The Thomas House ( DV030.2; 1883, William Quayle), 2104 Glenarm Place (NR), reflects the eclectic combination of stylistic elements favored by the middle class. William Quayle, who opened a Denver office in 1880, often worked with his brothers Charles and Edward. In 1900, Quayle moved to San Diego, where his work became more prominent. Like many other houses and school buildings Quayle designed, this one reflects his adroit eclecticism. A 1975 restoration highlighted the finely detailed brick-work, especially on the chimney, and the stone window trim.
Ebert Elementary School ( DV030.3; 1924, Mountjoy and Frewen), 410 West Park Avenue (at Tremont Place), is a two-story Renaissance Revival school building of light yellow brick enlivened by concrete moldings with lion heads, human heads, garlands, and a floral frieze. In the library, polychromatic terracotta tiles around the fireplace depict fairy-tale characters. Sympathetic additions have not detracted from this elegant and symmetrical structure.
