Information

1150 Maxwell Avenue/ L. Gale Abels architect/ Formalism style/ built 1967/ Mapleton Hill Historic District

Originally a dental office, this building features three unique towers of windows, and an L-shaped wall leading to a double height, recessed entrance.

L. Gale Abels was one of several prominent architects in Boulder County who experimented with MCM design. His architectural pedigree is exceptional, having trained with two of the leading figures of Modern design, Walter Gropius and Eero Saarinen.

About Boulder's preservation program: Built outside of the period of significance, 1865 to 1946, for the Mapleton Hill Historic District this building may not have the same protection as others in the district. However, significant changes or demolition of buildings over 50 years old, such as this one, are reviewed by the preservation program.
