Bowles House (Westminster, Colorado)

The Bowles House in Westminster, Colorado is a brick Italianate house built in 1871 by Edward Bruce Bowles and his wife Mahala Elizabeth Longan. Bowles is largely credited for bringing the Colorado & Southern Railroad to the present-day Westminster area. Bowles came from Missouri to the Colorado Territory at age 17. In 1871, at about 24 years of age he married Mahala, and they homesteaded the land on which the house stands. Bowles was the second pioneer settler in the area, after Pleasant DeSpain who arrived in 1870 and whose farm was to the north of the Bowles House. The Bowles House was originally constructed as a wood frame homestead cabin (no longer extant) but was rebuilt entirely from brick in 1876. The house was unusual for a rural ranch setting, as it included stylish and costly features: rounded windows, decorative brackets under the eaves, rooftop cresting, bargeboards on the gables, and an elaborate front porch. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988. The Bowles House was recognized as one of the earliest and most detailed examples of Italianate style in Westminster and as an icon of early Westminster settlement. The house is owned by the City of Westminster and operated as a historic house museum by the Westminster Historical Society.

Brooks Tower

Brooks Tower is a 42-story, 420-foot (130 m) residential skyscraper at 1020 15th Street in downtown Denver, Colorado, completed in 1968. It was designed by Cleveland architect Max Ratner and developed by the Brooks Realty and Construction Company. Brooks Tower was Denver's first high-rise residential building and its tallest building until 1974, when it was surpassed by 633 17th Street. The tower was originally built as rental apartments, and was converted into condominiums in 1995. As of late 2023, it ranks as the 15th-tallest building in Denver. History Development and construction Brooks Tower occupies the former site of Denver's Mining and Exchange building. A 12-foot copper statue from the site, "The Old Prospector" (1891), remains in the building's front garden. Aaron Brooks led the development through his company, Brooks Realty and Construction. The tower was designed by Ohio-based architect Max Ratner, with engineering by Karl R. Rohrer Associates, also of Ohio, and construction by the Hunkin-Conkey Construction Company. Construction began June 8, 1966, under an initial $7.6 million contract. Delays from labor disputes, weather, and owner-requested changes led to a legal dispute between the Brooks Towers Corporation and Hunkin-Conkey Construction. Court records show the architect granted the contractor 215 days of extensions. The tower was mostly complete around June 1, 1968, and formally opened in February 1969. Opening Brooks Tower was the tallest building in Denver and the Rocky Mountain region from its opening in 1968, to 1974, when 633 17th Street (then the First National Bank Building) was completed. A February 1969 article in The Denver Post described the building's site as having changed from a "shoddy slum to busy zone." The second floor of Brooks Tower housed Ebbets Field, a Denver music venue co-founded by concert promoters Chuck Morris and Barry Fey, from 1973 to 1977. Billboard magazine named it Club of the Year in 1975 and 1976. Condominium conversion In 1995, Brooks Tower transitioned from being a rental apartment building to a condominium complex. The Rocky Mountain News reported it as the largest condominium conversion project in Denver's history up to that point, with 517 units involved. Architecture and amenities Brooks Tower is a cylindrical modern-style building. Its shape was designed to give residents panoramic views of downtown Denver and the Rocky Mountains. Residential units range from studios to penthouses. Amenities include an outdoor swimming pool, a fitness center, and 24-hour front desk. The ground level contains commercial and retail space.

The church reported 916 members in 2019 and 630 members in 2023; no membership statistics were reported in 2024 parochial reports. Plate and pledge income reported for the congregation in 2024 was $1,175,110 with average Sunday attendance (ASA) of 304 persons. History The congregation of Calvary Episcopal Church was begun by the Episcopal missionary Bishop George Maxwell Randall, who later would establish the Colorado School of Mines. This chapel, built upon land donated by William A.H. Loveland, was constructed in 1867-68, and has been in use by the congregation ever since. It was designed by a member of the original church vestry, and is the earliest known work constructed by prominent regional builder John H. Parsons. Its interior woodwork, styled like that of Anglican churches, was carved by Robert Millikin and Woods. The church bell was given to the congregation in 1870 by the wife of George A. Jarvis, whom Jarvis Hall college was named after. Calvary's baptismal font was carved by George Morrison, for whom Morrison, Colorado was named. Upon the beloved bishop Randall's death in 1873, the congregation pledged to preserve this chapel as a monument to his service to Colorado. Several additions have since been built to the structure, including its Guild Hall (1902, using bricks recycled from Standley Hall that stood across from the Astor House (Golden, Colorado)), projecting chancel (1909), and classroom addition (1954). The original chapel has been restored in an ongoing project from the 1990s-2000s. It is listed on the Golden, Colorado and National historic registers. Noted parishioners of Calvary have included George West, Edward L. Berthoud, and the Coors family, of whom the brewery's founder donated the church pews and north windows.

Cañon Pintado

Cañon Pintado 'painted canyon' is an archaeological site of Native American rock art located in the East Four Mile Draw, 10.5 miles (16.9 km) south of Rangely in Rio Blanco County, Colorado. Led by Ute guides, the Domínguez–Escalante expedition, Spanish missionaries in search of a route to California in 1776, passed through this region as they moved north and then west into Utah. The first Europeans to the area, they named it Cañon Pintado, meaning "painted canyon". Rock art The rock art was probably made by people of the Fremont culture (about AD 650–1150) and the Ute (about AD 1200–1881). No one has been able to positively identify the significance of the paintings, however, they were probably made to mark significant events or for religious purposes. The Fremont people were described in a Rangely Museum brochure:The Fremont people built villages, farmed the valley areas and on high points located watchtowers. In hidden places on the cliffs are still found cisterns and granaries where they stored corn and seeds. Petroglyphs of corn stalks are at a number of these sites. Later the Utes hunted the area and used the valley until they were moved to a reservation in 1881.There are many easily accessible rock art sites located just south of Rangely along Colorado Highway 139. However, there are thousands of well preserved sites in the immediate area, including numerous sites on County Road 23 and County Road 65. Sun Dagger Site There is evidence that some of the petroglyphs may be of astronomical significance. The markings may indicate the significance winter or summer solstice but more data is required to verify these results.

Central Presbyterian Church (Denver)

Die Central Presbyterian Church ist ein Kirchengebäude der Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) in der Innenstadt von Denver im US-amerikanischen Bundesstaat Colorado. Die Kirche ist als nationales historisches Denkmal gelistet. Geschichte Die heutige Central Presbyterian Church geht zurück auf eine erste 1860 durch Reverend A. T. Rankin gegründete presbyterianische Gemeinde in Denver. Ein zunächst für Gottesdienste angemietetes Haus wurde später durch ein erstes Kirchengebäude ersetzt. Durch Wachstum der Gemeinde wurde ein Neubau erforderlich, der an anderer Stelle am heutigen Standort der Kirche erfolgte. Der Grundstein für den Neubau nach einem Entwurf von Frank E. Edbrooke wurde 1891 gelegt und die Central Presbyterian Church 1892 eingeweiht. Die Ausführung des Bauwerks erfolgte in Stil des Richardsonian Romanesque. Nach 1910 wurde durch die Gemeinde für hilfsbedürftige Menschen das heutige Presbyterian St. Luke’s Hospital gegründet. Die 1893 durch Farrand und Votey gebaute Orgel wurde 1962 durch ein Instrument der Reuter Organ Company aus Lawrence, Kansas, ersetzt. Das Denver Philharmonic Orchestra nutzt seit 2016 die Kirche mit ihren 1000 Sitzplätzen als ihre Konzertstätte. 1974 erfolgte die Eintragung in das National Register of Historic Places.

Central Presbyterian Church (Denver)

Central Presbyterian Church is a historic church located in downtown Denver, Colorado. Its building was built in 1891–92 and designed by Frank E. Edbrooke in the Richardsonian Romanesque style. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1974. The church was an offshoot of the First Presbyterian Church of Denver, which was organized in 1860 when the Reverend A.T. Rankin moved to Denver and placed an ad in the Rocky Mountain News announcing religious services for Presbyterians on the banks of Cherry Creek. The Central Presbyterian Church congregation received its name in 1874. Its building was documented by the Historic American Buildings Survey in 1969. The building has been considered one of the three best buildings designed by Edbrooke, and was designed late in his career. It is described: "'The church is enormous, it is a nearly perfect square and is basically a four-tower type with crossing gables of equal height and length. The feeling of massiveness is derived from its great size and large windows and from the use of Colorado sandstone laid in horizontal bands like Richardson's later work. In the words of art historian Richard Brettell, the church is spare, simple and coloristically unified. The walls are sheer and relatively unadorned, rising with a thin and expansive grace. The thin stretched quality is almost exaggerated in the tower where there are long, thin lantern openings topped by ogee arches."
