The buildings provide a rare opportunity to view in one location the 30-year stylistic evolution of the firm and represent a good solution to the challenge of joining a new building to an older structure both functionally and stylistically.  The New Building is Denver’s finest example of Art Moderne commercial architecture.  The property is associated with the Historic Resources of Downtown Denver Multiple Property Submission.
