By Atom Stevens - January 11, 2026
Why though?! I’m sure most of you know the answer to this question, but in case you’re new here, or you follow me from afar, here is the inside scoop . . . TRADITION!

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

The Last Vacant Lot in Harvey Park Isn’t Vacant Anymore

By Atom Stevens - July 15, 2023
After roughly 70 years, and last vacant lot in Harvey Park is finally being built on! This is one of the lakefront lots along Yale Avenue, which are some of the best lots in the neighborhood - not only for being lakefront, but also because they have some incredible unobstructed mountain views over Bear Valley. Of course, I have pessimistically assumed that when this lot is developed, it will

  Where Harvey Park Began The Harvey Mansion in Denver’s Harvey Park is where it all began. The half of the Harvey Park subdivision from Yale Avenue northward used to be a single ranch, all the way to Jewell Avenue, and this impressive home was the original ranch house . . . although it was not always this grand!

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

Mid-Mod Spotting: “Craner-Built” Home in Harvey Park

By Atom Stevens - March 16, 2023
A rare mid-century modern “Craner-Built” home in Denver’s Harvey Park. In a neighborhood of over 4,000 homes, there are only about a block built by Craner, and this one stands out as one of the best. Notice how the front door doesn’t face the street! Many of Harvey Park’s mid-century modern homes have entrances that are on the side of the home, instead of facing

Mid-Mod Spotting: Unique Burns Mod in Denver’s Harvey Park

By Atom Stevens - December 09, 2022
This unique Burns Modern in Denver’s Harvey Park is one of the “Glenwood” tri-level models. One of the interesting aspects of this mid-century modern tri-level design was its inherent flexibility. While almost all tri-levels have an established front and back elevation baked into the design, the Glenwood could be placed on the lot three different ways: Living room to the f

Mid-Mod Spotting: My neighbor’s house at dusk . . .

By Atom Stevens - September 27, 2022
My wife and I moved into the Cliff May Homes in Denver’s Harvey Park nearly 18 years ago. We had no idea what we had just bought when we bought it; we just knew that it was something we could afford, and that there was something about it that was like no other home we had ever seen. 12 years ago, I started really digging into what these homes were, and discovered a richer story than I c
