Mountain Savings and Loan Association

2300 Broadway Street/ Hobart D. Wagener architect/ Rustic Modern style/ built 1964

Prior to moving to Boulder, architect Hobart Wagener worked in Portland, Oregon for renegade Modernist Pietro Belluschi. This building is reflective of the cutting-edge design from Belluschi's office.

The building was designed as a branch office for the Mountain Savings and Loan Bank. The roof has a very thin profile. Its low sloping form crowns the building, and it provides a welcoming front porch entrance. The textured wood siding is crisply detailed and references vernacular barns. Horizontal windows accentuate the length of the building.

The current owner appreciates and understands MCM design and has continued that theme in the renovation of the interior.
