The Grafton
1001-1021 East 17th Ave., Denver
SHF Projects 99-M2-003 & 00-01-046
The Grafton multi-residential building (left)
is surrounded by scaffolding during exterior restoration work funded
in part by a State Historical Fund (SHF) grant. The nonprofit organization,
Uptown Partnership, sponsored the Grafton Homeowner's Association
successful grant application for exterior painting, re-roofing,
interior hallway restoration and masonry treatment based on the
findings of a previous Historic Structure Assessment from Cocallas
and Hoskin Architects.
 While
the Rand Corp served as the general contractor on this project,
painters Miguel & Ivan Valdez along with Manual Amayan (right)
from subcontractor Family Traditions, take advantage of a reasonably
warm day to continue exterior paint preparation work on the elaborate
dormers of The Grafton's distinctive mansard roof. Other subcontractors
include B&M Roofing and masonry contractor, Chris Wolf, of Building
Restoration Specialties.
The Grafton is significant for its eclectic
architecture and is listed in the National Register of Historic
Places.
