Boulder Icon

I am happy to note that this iconic Usonian building, the First Christian Church, located where the 36 Hwy becomes 28th St at the entranceway to Boulder, is still standing despite having been for sale for years now. There was concern that it would be torn down and replaced with student housing.

Designed 1960 by architects Thomas Nixon & Lincoln Jones.

With it’s prominent Boulder location, it is nice way for residents to regularly view a historic example of the direct influence of Frank Lloyd Wright.

It always looks like a whale opening its mouth to me
