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) - and he said as long as he didn’t have to do any of the work, he was all for it!

As you can imagine, the pandemic put a long delay on the idea, but we are finally on our way in what became a joint project between Docomomo US/Colorado and Historic Denver. Michael Flowers at Historic Denver lead the way, with significant contributions by Kimber Dempsey (my colleague and mentor at Realty ONE Group Premier), Brie Samyn, and Tom Hart at Docomomo US/CO.

Alan, Michael, and I presented to the LPC hearing for the landmark application today, with comments of support from Kimber.
