Historic Boulder Architecture

James M. Hunter (1908-1983)
In Boulder, the Boulder Municipal Building, Base Line Junior High, Boulder Public Library, many residences and other projects. In Fort Collins, the core of the C.S.U. campus. Active in solar design.

J.W. Noaecker (1913-1974)
Several buildings for CU, generally east of campus on or near 30th Street and Marine. He also designed three residences for himself and his family in and east of Boulder. The building at the right has its own page here.

Hobart D. Wagener(1921-2005)
Fairview High, Southern Hills and Centennial Middle Schools, additions to the Courthouse, banks, Williams Village and Kittredge Residence Halls, as well as numerous residences and office buildings.

As you can see my vision is too limited; so far we have some prominent architects active from the 1950s through the 1970s. For earlier work look at the images by Boulder architect Glen Huntington as well as some selected architecture of Chautauqua Park. I have just been shown some information on Edwin Gustav Lundborg (1865-1943), an architect active in Boulder from around 1900 through the late 1920s, and the designer of several craftsman-style bungalows in Boulder. In an advertising circular he wrote, "I have some of the best bungalow plans ever made and I don't care who knows it." Some of his projects were on Grandview east of Broadway, 432 Pine, 751 and 755 11th, 1100 10th, 960 University, 918 Pleasant, 701 9th, 2503 Broadway, and 994 14th. Look at the Edwin Lundborg web album for photos as I put them up.

L. Gale Abels (1927-1995)
In Boulder, several residences and commercial structures, including 1135 Broadway-formerly Art Hardware, now Meininger's. He also designed structures at Jeffco and Arapahoe County Airports.
