A few mountain mod a-frames
Photos taken through the trees… variations of the mountain-mod A-Frame home.
This first one is on Lookout Mountain in Golden.
The rest of these are from the mountains of Boulder.
All of these homes were likely built in the 1960s/early ’70s.

Mountain modern
The roofline works well against the sightline of the ridge in this mountainside modern home in Boulder, probably built in the mid-1960s.

Rustic mod
This rustic modern home in Boulder was built in 1966.
I believe this home is part of the Expressionist movement in architecture.

Astronauts in Boulder
My copy of this 1964 AOK – Astronauts Orbit Kampus LP has a bit of cover wear, but despite considerable time spent, I cannot quite line up where on Flagstaff Mt. this picture was taken.
It would seem that the street on the right is Aurora Ave, but I cannot be sure, maybe it is College Ave. You can see that the foothills up right against the mountains have yet to be filled in with Charles Haertling’s masterpeice designs, though you can spot some new mod houses in the lower right.
The mighty Astronauts ruled over the front range in the years 1963-65.

Leaded glass
Once in again in Boulder… the leaded glass in the windows of the First Christian Church on the turnpike.
The Usonian church was designed in 1960 by Thomas Nixon and Lincoln Jones and is currently in danger of being scraped.
