Where Historic Integrity Meets Modern Livability.

Rosewood Construction is undertaking a complete renovation of 1039 Mapleton Avenue, a contributing Queen Anne–style home in Boulder’s Mapleton Hill Historic District. Originally built between 1895–1896, the home features stained glass, carved trim, varied siding materials, and a distinctive tower added in the early 1900s.

This remodel enhances the home’s long-term durability, restores historic elements, and adds sensitive new living space in a way that aligns with Landmark Review Committee guidance.

History of this home.

Respecting History Through Design.

Rosewood’s Approach.

Scaling and stepping back the new addition to remain subordinate to the historic roofline

  • Designing dormers that maintain proper hierarchy and do not compete with original architectural features

  • Ensuring reversible construction where possible to preserve the home’s historic integrity over time

  • Choosing materials, proportions, roof pitches, and detailing compatible with the Queen Anne character

The result is a remodel that feels authentic, natural, and rooted in the home’s historic evolution.

Project Goals.

Maintain and celebrate the home’s Queen Anne character

  • Add functional living space without compromising historic massing

  • Improve structural stability and long-term performance

  • Create continuity between old and new through contextual, scaled design

  • Deliver a remodel that serves the family for decades while honoring over a century of architectural legacy
