The fight to save Richard Crowther's groundbreaking home in Cherry Creek.
, was a giant in Colorado's modern architecture movement, and the residence he designed for himself and his wife, built in 1978-’79 at 401 Madison Street in Denver, is a masterpiece of both high-style formalism and environmentally friendly engineering. It is in the very top tier of the state's architectural achievements, and among the state’s finest structures.
Crowther was born in Newark, New Jersey, in 1910 and moved to San Diego in 1931. There he designed neon signs and built his first environmentally enlightened house in 1936. He came to Colorado in 1948; his first design assignment here was creating the glitzy, Googie-style ticket booths and ride entrances at Lakeside Amusement Park, many of which still stand.
The case for saving the house, which Hart prepared, is pretty much open-and-shut. To be eligible for landmark protection in Denver, a building needs to satisfy at least three criteria outlined in the guidelines, and the Crowther House satisfies four.
