Home of Paula Quintana  
|
|
At the age of 21, Paula Quintana moved to Denver with her husband who had just finished serving in World War II. They bought a beautiful house on Stout Street, originally built in the 1880’s, and raised five children in the home. When Paula’s husband passed away at the young age of 66, she continued to live in the home and has now been there for 55 years. Although her home is clean and well cared for, major repairs have not been made since her husband’s death nearly 20 years ago. The home is also in need of modifications for accessibility and safety as she ages. Through HGTV and its partners, the hope is that Paula can remain independent and safe in her family home. |
