A look at what Denver could lose next.
The groundbreaking structure that renowned architect Richard Crowther created at 401 Madison Street as his own home has been purchased by Denver-based Mag Builders, which wants to scrape the structure and build two duplexes — if the city determines it is not a landmark and issues a Certificate for Demolition Eligibility. You can see the Denver Community Planning and Neighborhood reportJanuary 11, 2007, shortly after Crowther passed away.
Crowther was born in Newark, New Jersey, in 1910, and moved to San Diego as a young man. Though he did have some formal training, Crowther, as was common to his generation, learned on the job, starting with lighting design for amusement parks and coming up through the profession. He arrived in Denver in 1948 and was hired by Lakeside owner Ben Krasner, who wanted him to give the park a partial facelift.
