Usonian Window
A Usonian window from Children’s Psychiatric Day Care Center in Denver designed
1962 by Victor Hornbein & Ed White.
Sadly, this building is supposed to be torn down soon (if it hasn’t been already).

The Ross-Barnum Library, a Usonian design by Victor Hornbein from 1954.

Lakewood Haertling
The Fredrick House, a Lakewood mountain home designed by Boulder architect
Charles Haertling in 1965. He called it a Triframe Modular.
The streetside view of the roofline just gives you a hint of what the house looks like.

Charles Haertling church addition
Charles Haertling designed this Capitol Hill Usonian church addition in 1961. One of
our favorites at The Denver Eye!
It was intended to be the beginning of a much larger project, but I assume was considered
too extreme at the time.

Beaver Meadows Visiting Center
Rocky Mountain National Park Headquarters, designed 1964 by E. Thomas Casey,
the last surviving architect of the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation who actually apprenticed
under Frank Lloyd Wright. He was a founding dean at Taliesin West with a 55 year tenure
before he passed away in 2005.
The weather was dismal and they are putting a new roof on the building, so I just snapped
a few photos for now. I will return on a nice summer day soon!

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