The main foyer can be seen from Apartments 3, 5, 6 and 7. The original woodwork, lace window treatments and period lighting help to create a sense of hospitality for the tenants and visitors. On the main floor, paneled doors open to Apartments 3, 5 and 6. The carpet is forest green indoor/outdoor, on top of linoleum, which is very accommodating on snowy or rainy Colorado days.
