Arapahoe Acres...

Hawkins house

IMG_9454_final_for_web

Ed Hawkins, the man responsible for Arapahoe Acres, built this house in 1957, after
returning from a visit to Japan. He lived in this residence for ten years.

The false balcony is a playful break from the honesty of his beautiful Usonian and
International style designs that permeate Arapahoe Acres.
