View of the Gertrude Apartments located at 2545 Champa Street (architect-Frederick C. Eberly, 1880) in the Five Points neighborhood of Denver, Colorado. The former residence, an example of the Italianate style, is listed on the National Register of Historic Places as a contributing resource to the Curtis Park-Champa Street Historic District. The two-story brick building was the home of business man Fritz Theis, a wholesale liquor distributor, until his death in 1921. The columns that supported the front entry porch have been removed and subsequently chains added for support. The building has a mansard roof, a decorative cornice and balcony. Originally a single family residence, the house was divided into multiple units and renamed the Gertrude Apartments.
