Arapahoe Acres has updated their website:
Arapahoe Acres
The AA site is created by the homeowners for the homeowners and contains a lot of text, so if you’re more interested in pictures then you want to go here:
There are also currently 3 midcentury modern homes for sale in Arapahoe Acres and one more on the way. Those of you on my mailing list are also aware of the Ed Hawkins designed home currently for sale in Southern Hills.
Speaking of Arapahoe Acres homeowners, Diane Wray Tomasso has recently published another Denver Historic Guide with Westword writer, Michael Paglia. The new guide is called “Mid-Century Modern House in Denver” which you can pick up at Tattered Cover or from Historic Denver, Inc.
If you don’t already have them, you may also want to pick up “Denver: The Modern City” (shown) and “The Arapahoe Acres Historic District” guides.
Art Deco Exhibit…
now until June 1st, at the Aurora History Museum.
“On display will be examples of how the Art Deco style was utilized in building design, furniture, domestic pieces, radios, lighting, kitchen appliances, jewelry, and much more.”
Pictured above is the Buerger Brothers building at 17th & Champa. Designed by architect Montana S. Fallis (most likely with the assistance of his son Myrlin), it is considered one of Denver’s best examples of Art Deco design. Thankfully, the building was rehabilitated in the late 90’s after decades of neglect and has now been converted into residential lofts.
