The Van Hummell Building, designed 1951 by Edwin Francis.

A beautiful multi-faceted red standstone building right off of Speer Blvd. in Denver. It is now the American Red Cross building.

Edwin Francis also designed the stone Crest House sitting atop Mt. Evans in Evergreen, CO. The Crest House is currently in ruins, but there has been talk about restoration.

I had to make more than a few passes by this building to get lighting that I wanted, as the design is intended for the shadows to change drastically throughout the day.
