This incredible modern office building was designed in 1964 by William Muchow Associates Architects. This was originally a bank, the Silverstate Savings and Loan.

William Muchow is one of Denver’s most important historical architects. His firm designed 833 buildings from 1950 to 1991!

His firm designed one of Denver’s better examples of the International style architecture, the Texaco Building at 1570 Grant, which is just north of this location.

One of my favorite buildings his firm constructed is the Engineering Sciences Center located on the campus of the University of Colorado in Boulder. I plan on posting pictures of this fantastic building real soon!

Thanks for visiting! I have been a little slack lately as I have been working on other things and trying to organize a bit. I plan on posting much more frequently in the next month, so check back often!

  1. Thanks for your interesting mid cent photos. I lived for 10 years in a great mid-century home in Dallas, built around 1954. Dallas has a number of such homes tucked away in several neighborhoods such as Midway Hills. There were a series of homes like mine all built by Gordon Nichols, a builder who may have been influenced by the large Frank Lloyd Wright residence built about a mile away. Certainly there are larger more luxurious homes, but this was a great house.

    I sold it a few years ago; it was compact and spacious at the same time, good light, nice proportions and built ins in almost every room. I miss it. 1/3 acre yard with 50 year old oak trees. A gem.
