The Osgood–Kuhnhausen House, also known as Carina's Cottage, is located on Redstone Boulevard in Redstone, Colorado, United States. It is a timber frame structure built at the beginning of the 20th century in the Tudor Revival architectural style. In 1983 it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Redstone was established at that time by John C. Osgood, founder of the Colorado Fuel and Iron (CF&I) company, one of the largest mining companies in the state. Wanting the coal miners and coking workers at the nearby mines and coke ovens to live in comfortable housing, Osgood built hundreds of cottages as part of his company town. Most were abandoned a decade later when CF&I shut the facilities down, and were eventually demolished or moved. The Kuhnhausen house was one of the few that have remained largely intact on their original sites.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.historycolorado.org/oahp/pitkin-county )〕 ==Building== The house is located near the north end of the unincorporated community of Redstone. It is on the east side of Redstone Boulevard, a few lots south of where East Creek Trail rejoins the street from the east and the pavement ends. On the neighboring lots on both sides of the street are houses of more modern construction. To the west the lots back on the Crystal River, beyond which is State Highway 133 and the mountains on the other side of the valley in Grand Mesa National Forest. On the east are also mountain slopes; most of that land is in the White River National Forest's Maroon Bells–Snowmass Wilderness. A quarter-mile (500 m) to the south is the older portion of town at the northern end of the Redstone Historic District, also listed on the National Register. The building itself is a one-story square-shaped wood frame structure sided in clapboard with a pyramidal metal roof. A small porch projects from the south corner of the west (front) facade; there is a larger, gabled projection on the east. Several mature trees shelter the house; there are shrubs planted in the front. On the front is a double two-over-two double-hung sash window with battened wooden shutters in the north bay and a single one next to the front door. Wood pillars from benches along either side support the porch's gabled roof. Above the window lintels a pair of wooden courses creates a frieze effect, with arched openings above the windows and the porch support posts. At the roof there is an overhanging eave.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Osgood–Kuhnhausen House」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
