Reader submission: This time *I* did not take the photos, but these were submitted by architect Peter Carey of Carey Design in Boulder. He is on the historic preservation board in Longmont where they are identifying potential mid-century modern homes for preservation.

I was pleasantly surprised when I saw these gorgeous photos. I did not know of specific homes in Longmont, but knew that there must be mid-century modern homes up that way, as my wife Shannon Stanbro of 5280mod, never ceases to surprise me when she shows me mod homes in cities like Gunbarrel, Broomfield, Westminster and many of the “L” towns surrounding Boulder.

This first amazing Usonian house was designed in 1968 by Roger Easton for Edward Lehman, the owner of the Longmont Times Call local newspaper. It is 5000 sq ft! Roger Easton also designed this office building in Boulder.

This unique Longmont home from 1964 was built in an enclosed court yard. I love that entranceway.

Across the street is another mod home from 1972 with this cool pass-through car port.

A beautiful Usonian design from 1957.

This is Peter Carey’s own house, built for the esteemed Longmont Dickens family in 1952, one of the first houses on the Sunset Golf Course. Look at those 30″ eves and 14′ wide plate glass windows. This home has a pinwheel floorpan.

And finally, Longmont High School, an outstanding modern design from 1962 with a unique version of the folded plate roof. This last picture reminds me of Sarasota High School.
