Join Lotus Network for a Mid-Century Architecture Meander!
Join us on June 14th at 9 AM for a 1.5 to 2-hour walk through Arapahoe Acres.
Arapahoe Acres is like an active museum of mid-century design developed by talented architect and builder Edward Hawkins between 1949 and 1957.
We will learn about Hawkins and the first mid-century neighborhood in the country to be added to the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP). Life magazine featured Arapahoe Acres in “Best Houses under $15,000; Eight fine, mass-produced examples show buyers what they can get in low-priced homes.”
Learn more about Broadway, the city of Englewood, and some of the local nearby parks.
TOUR DETAILS:
We will meet at Keith’s Coffee Bar, 2450 S Downing Street, Denver, CO 80210. Street parking is available.
