A beautiful Usonian-style design, the Dammann House, 1966 by famed Boulder architect, Charles Haertling

This wild butterfly roof home was designed by Hobart Wagener, 1957

This house has had very little modification, and seems to currently be under restoration!

Great news, as it sits on a large piece of prime Boulder real-estate, so there was concern that it would be scraped!

Another Charles Haertling, the Willard House from 1961. You can see some of the unfortunate, controversial construction placed far too close to this treasured house.

This construction has stopped, but it is a shame to see the hillside destroyed, especially after such careful, thoughtful placement of the Haertling structure.

This incredible building seems to go beyond Usonia. It is mind boggling to think how such an intricate design could have ever been committed to paper!
