Charles Deaton Sculptured House
Jefferson County
The Sculptured House is exceptionally significant for its high quality modernist design. The work of self-taught Colorado architect and engineer Charles Deaton, the 1966 Sculptured House occupies a key place in the history of Colorado architecture as one of the most widely recognized and respected modernist buildings in the state. The house includes many of the defining characteristics of post-war Expressionist design, a stylistic variant of modernism.
Charles Deaton Sculptured House
The Sculptured House has been discussed and illustrated in the national and international architectural, art and design press, both when it was new in the 1960s and ‘70s, and since it was restored and completed in the 1990s. It is extremely rare for a Colorado building of any type to have received the level of serious attention afforded the Sculptured House. Aside from attention within the professional design community, the house also played an important role in mass culture as a widely known example of the mid-20th century ‘House of the Future’ building type.
