Inside the Mayan Theatre
The Mayan Theatre was designed 1930 by Montana Fallis.
Denver is extremely fortunate that this outstanding example of
Art Deco Mayan Revival has remained intact.
Others involved included sculptor Julius Ambrusch and architect
Victor Hornbein.
The Mayan was opened just as the stock market crash put an end to the construction
of Art Deco film theaters.
This theater went through an unused period which helped preserve it from being renovated
and updated over the years.

Usonian
Denver Skin Clinic. A classic Usonian office building on 17th. You drive by it all the time!
My guess that this is designed by Victor Hornbein circa 1952. I’d love to stand corrected!
