Glen Huntington (? - 1959)

The son of a Denver architect, Glen became Boulder's first full-time resident architect after The Great War.  He worked in a variety of revival styles in the 1920s and '30s, and toward the end of that period he seems to have become moderne if not modern. He was involved in the design of Boulder High, designed the Boulder County Courthouse, the Bandshell, many sororities, and finished the construction of The University Club when Charles Klauder died in 1938. 

The house on the right, done in 1937, reminds me of '20s and '30s blocky modern architecture: asymmetrical, unadorned, and flat-roofed.  In this case, to his merit, he chose a low-pitched hip roof in deference to the reality of snow loads.  It has great corner windows.  As of early January it is off the market, due to return in early 2011.  According to the listing agent.  Call me if you want updates.

Welcome, and thanks for coming in!

I would love to be your agent for buying or selling!  Give me a call or email me!  While I can act as your agent in selling or buying any real property, this site has special emphasis on architecturally significant houses in Boulder.

Here you can see listings of wonderful historic residences by Glen Huntington, James Hunter, Hobart Wagener, L. Gale Abels, Charles Haertling and others, updated as they come onto the market or sell.  They worked from the 1920s through the 1970s; do you prefer gingerbread and Queen Anne gables over flat roofs and lots of glass?  No problem - check on the earlier listings, pre-1918, or the later ones, from the 1970s through now.

Some listings as of May 11; mouse over the photos for more information. I am not the listing agent, so I can act as your buyer's agent any time:

1660 Wilson Court.  1966

This house may have a known architect, and I'll check.  It certainly appears to have good views to the south and west.  It is large, at 3222 square feet, and 2700 of those are above the basement.

University Heights Avenue!

University Heights runs east from Folsom, a block north of Colorado.  Wagener's Wesleyan Chapel anchors the west end, and the street itself is populated by attractive mid-century ranch-style houses.

This is one of them; lots of exposed brick and wood on the inside-ceilings too-and 2400 square feet on one level.
