Throwback to the 1950s in Westminster’s Sunset Lanes Neighborhood

By Atom Stevens - March 23, 2023

The home of interior designer Bob Biesk on Stuart Street before the attached carport was added, and the veranda was enclosed into a room. Look at how tidy that yard is!! Biesk and his friend, interior designer H. Albert Phibbs used to make day trips to the mountains to bring large rocks back for landscaping, used prominently in front of the home here. This is one of 99 examples of an affordable

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 the street, often (as in this case

Mid-Mod Spotting in Sunset Lanes, Westminster

By Atom Stevens - March 07, 2023

Window wall elevation in Westminster’s Sunset Lanes. While all of the 99 homes have the same 3-bed, 1-bath floorplan, these homes designed by Norton Polivnick, were built with several different elevations–this window wall elevation being the most dramatic. A lot of the homes in the neighborhood still have their original wood Andersen Windows from the mid 1950s . . . something DEFINITELY with keepi

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 Mountain National Park, just out

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 front, with a window wa

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 could have

I Am Denver’s Mid-Century Modern Geek!

By Atom Stevens - February 19, 2022

Just how much of a geek am I? How about this . . . I have not only searched for and located over 7,000 mid-century modern homes in the Denver area, but I have mapped them too (plus countless more mid-century charming, storybook ranches, and ’80s mods - I have those layers turned off here)! If you own a mid-century modern home anywhere in and around Denver, there’s a 99% chance that it’s represent

I gave a talk about the Cliff May Homes in Denver (where I live!) during the January 13, 2021 Chapter Meeting of Docomomo US/Colorado. I am one of the charter members of the Colorado chapter of Docomomo US, and our early meetings were during the pandemic, which meant that we were all meeting virtually over ZOOM (and giving our talks that way as well). We try to have a speaker for each of our mont

Hillary talks about the floorplan of one of the homes she grew up in found in a book that Harvey Park residents Jayme and Yan pulled off the shelf.
