Information

2450 Broadway Street/ unknown architect/ International Style/ built 1950

This modest office building is an example of the International Style. The predominantly horizontal composition has a flat roof with large overhangs, an incised concrete base, and local sandstone walls. Most windows are deeply recessed with the striking exception of the entrance which is wrapped in floor-to-ceiling windows. This looks like it could have been a James Hunter design.

Status: This building is included in the Alpine Balsam Area Plan, approximately defined by Cedar, 13th, Portland Place, and 9th Streets. The city's current inclination for Area Plans is to increase density and height to encourage housing development. Therefore, a non-landmarked small building on a large lot, like this, would have little protection from demolition and pressures to maximize development.
