Uncovering More About Lory Ice

By Atom Stevens - November 24, 2023
Lory Ice has been one of several Denver architects for which we have very little background, like almost nothing. In fact, before falling down the rabbit hole for a few hours this week, I have only been able to attribute him to one house . . . the highly unique Butterfly House in Lakewood’s Green Mountain, which was featured in the 1962 Parade of Homes, built by Tri-L Construction. But

Googie Style Former Big Top Store on Jewell Avenue in Harvey Park Slated for Demolition

By Atom Stevens - November 16, 2023
One of Eight Remaining Buildings is Slated for Demolition ATTENTION is drawn once again to the old mid-century modern Googie style BIG TOP convenience stores, of which 16 were built across the Denver area during the 1950s and ’60s. A classic example of roadside “roofitecture,” the unique and satisfying catenary style roof of these buildings evoke a pagoda or yes, a circus te

Works in Progress in Sunset Lanes

By Atom Stevens - October 11, 2023
In the 14 years that I have been exploring Denver’s mid-century modern architecture, one truth that I have discovered about how mid-mod neighborhoods eventually end up “on the map” is through those few first homeowners that realize what they have behind years of past owners’ neglect and put in the elbow grease into bringing it back . . . they inspire others . . . and

By Atom Stevens - April 04, 2023
I am pleased to have been present today to witness Denver’s Landmark Preservation Commission unanimously approve forwarding the landmark designation for the Alan Golin Gass House to City Council (the last step). It was over three years ago that Josh Robinson, Charles Russell and I proposed to Alan Golin Gass, FAIA the idea of landmarking his home (as we very much felt it was worthy) - a

One of My Favorite Mid-Century Modern Features

By Atom Stevens - March 27, 2023
Among the features found in many mid-century modern homes, the clerestory window (especially as a glass gable, as seen in this Norton Polivnick designed Carey “Holiday Home”) is among my favorites. Being able to see the sky from the living room (or even the bedrooms, as is the case in my Cliff May Home) as the roof of the home appears to float over the walls, blurs the lines betwe

Happy 303 Day, Colorado!

By Atom Stevens - March 03, 2023
If you know Colorado, you know that 303 was our state’s first area code, and it was our state’s only area code until I was about 10 years old (back when a “landline” house phone was still our only means of communicating over long distances). To celebrate, I wanted to share one of my favorite modern buildings in the state, the Beaver Meadows Visitor Center at Rocky Mounta
