| Description |
701 South Cascade Ave. State Register 12/16/2005, National Register 1/16/2008, 5EP.4542"Described as a “tidy form-meets-function design” and a “little masterpiece of local modernity,” the building, designed by local architects Dietz Lusk and James Wallace, is an important example of Modernism in Colorado Springs. The building is distinguished by its folded plate roof, cantilevered walls of glazed turquoise brick, and an integral exterior courtyard. Constructed in 1957 as offices for a specialized aircraft business, the exposed aluminum trusses in the roof system were designed to imitate aircraft wings. Only a handful of office buildings were built in downtown Colorado Springs during the early post-World War II era, and the Maytag building stands out not only for its unusual design, but also because of its cutting-edge materials."--Description from the History Colorado website. |
