Highly desirable central Denver location under $350K. One in a very small enclave of mid-century modern homes. The woodwork and masonry have been untouched in the livingroom, unfortunately the bedrooms have been painted.
1951, 3bd/ 1ba, 1328 sq. ft. on a 7500 sq. ft. lot. Great alternative to Krisana Park if you can stomach the neighboring McMansions.

On Thursday, Bastien’s Steak House on East Colfax became the first ever Googie-style building to be listed on the National Register of Historic Places!
It was preceded by the first Googie sign to be listed, Welcome to Las Vegas, in May. While other Googie buildings have been approved for National Landmark status, the buildings’ owners have not wanted the distinction.
We were lucky enough to attend a lecture on Thursday at the Grant-Humphries Mansion by Alan Hess, author of the ultimate book on ’50s coffee shop architecture, Googie Redux, where this historic Bastien’s announcement was made.
Googie Redux is Alan Hess’ expansive rework of his original 1985 book Googie: Fifties Coffee Shop Architecture.
Alan Hess is an architect, prominent architecture critic for the San Jose Mercury Newsand writer. He has written books on mid-century ranch houses, Palm Springs, Las Vegas, Frank Lloyd Wright, Oscar Niemeyer and John Lautner (the main reason why he is in Denver.)
Friday, the Denver Art Musuem is showing the film Infinite Space: The Architecture of John Lautner. John Lautner designed the famous coffee shop actually named Googie’s.
The folded-roof on this building has 24 sides! The Bastien’s family built it 1959 on the site of the Moon Drive-In, which they opened in 1937.
If you have not eaten here, Bastien’s has great food and cocktails with a beautiful interior. Stop by the bar and see for yourself!
You may have noticed the missing letters on the sign when you drive west on Colfax, but it has been that way for 35 years! Zoning regulations preclude them from making any changes to the sign.
Aside from the building, the Bastien’s sign is possibly on of the best Googie signs in Denver.

Last night we watched (and loved) Visual Acoustics: The Modernism of Julius Shulman followed by a Q&A with director Eric Bricker. If you weren’t able to catch the film, keep an eye out for it at the Starz Filmcenter the first week in October.
The Shulman documentary is the first in the Denver Film Society’s Film and Design series. There are three more films and I’m looking forward to seeing Design Onscreen’s Journeyman Architect: The Life and Work of Donald Wexler on the big screen. More on all of the films in this series here.
Design Onscreen will also be screening the Colorado premiere of Infinite Space: The Architecture of John Lautner at the Denver Art Museum on October 9th @ 6:00
A Denver based initiative, Design Onscreen is dedicated to documenting primarily post WWII architects, industrial designers and graphic designers who are still living but have not received significant attention to date.
We are very fortunate to have so many modernist events happening around Denver!
