Birth of a City

Fascinating little promo film for Broomfield Heights. It’s 15 minutes long,
but try to watch the whole thing.

Many of the stores and business buildings were designed by Roger Musick.

Keep an eye out for this Usonian bank (at 6:45, though now I see it was
not originally a bank). Also a side note, K.C. Ensor also developed Harvey
Park
in Denver.

Not much has changed, we just banned the word modern from the suburbs.

Looks like Stapleton, but this time free from the mistakes of the past.

I love old promo film like this! Thanks for the Harvey Park shout-out! To clarify, Ensor was one of many developers that built Harvey Park, including Frank Burns, Lou Carey, C.C. Ford, and Ted Hutchinson.
