Broadway and 17th in downtown Denver, showing the contrasts of styles from different eras.
The sandstone Brown Palace from 1892, the International-style Mile High Tower from 1956,
and peeking over the top, the post-modern Wells Fargo Center skyscraper from 1984.

Petroleum Club

IMG_0424_final_for_web

The Meisian-style Petroleum Club Building designed by
Charles Strong in 1957. Charles Strong is famous locally
as the architect of the Art Deco Poet’s Row.

The historic building has seen some changes in recent history,
the sun screens and the red spear going up the side. Compare
to this 1957 Denver Post photo.
