1909 26th Street/ Roger J. Easton architect/ Miesian style/ built 1970
This building, known as the Kellcourt Building, first served as offices and a retail space for IBM typewriters. The project was inspired by the Illinois Institute of Technology in Chicago, designed by Mies Van Der Rohe. The exterior is comprised of a two-story box with alternating vertical panels of brick and glass and sits on a solid concrete base. The corners are elegantly detailed with a steel column flanked by windows.
In 2007, new owners hired a Boulder architecture company to update the building, including some embellishments to the exterior which are considerate of its original character.
