The impressive Arthur House was designed by the esteemed architects Nichols & Canman of Denver, in partnership with Richard Burke, a prominent builder from Fort Collins.

The foundation of the building is constructed of masonry sandstone, and the exterior and load-bearing walls are three bricks thick with mortar filling, creating a stable and long-lasting structure.
