The Henry S. Persse Place Stone House is one of the few remaining structures on the Persse Place property
\nthat is now a part of Roxborough State Park located southwest of Denver. The site, developed between
\n1901 and 1910, originally included the house, barns, and guest cottages. Built-in 1903, the Stone House
\nunderwent exterior restoration, reconstruction, and structural re
\n-mediation as part of a multiphase plan for the\u00a0site.
\nBlueSky Studio was hired by the Colorado State Division of Parks and Outdoor Recreation
\nto provide technical expertise for the structural stabilization, weatherproofing, ADA compliance, and reconstruction of
\nthe porch and kitchen. Funding for this project was supplied by a grant from the Colorado Historical
\nSociety. Utilizing information gath
\nered from a study of the site commissioned in the late 1980s and
\npainstaking research of debris left at the site, the building\u2019s details were recreated and modified where
\nnecessary to meet current code requirements.
\nBefore restoration began, the one stor y kitchen and roofed porch had collapsed. The ravages of time had
\ntaken their toll on most of the wood and stone that remained. Careful research and analysis yielded a
\ncompatible source for replacement stone and specifications for rebuilding and repointing mortar. Lateral
\nbracing was added to the structure and hidden in the rafter spaces. New roofing technology was
\nimplemented to mitigate fire spread and ice dams, allowing the look of cedar shingles to appear as original<\/p>\n
