Arapahoe Acres...
Hawkins house
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.

Sternberg is well known for designing many of the first homes for Arapahoe Acres (including the innovative street plan) as well as many International-style buildings throughout Littleton.
Here is the beautiful view from the deck of this cabin.

Spence house
The Spence House designed 1954, I assume by Ed Hawkins, as this home is in Englewood’s Arapahoe Acres, though it does bear a strong resemblance to Eugene Sternberg’s Mass House, also in Arapahoe Acres.
In this shot, you can see that this has a butterfly roof.
