We've looked at a lot of the mid-mod architecture in the downtown Littleton area, but there are other great examples of this unique architecture all around the Denver area. It makes sense that we would find some great examples along Colfax Avenue. Traveling down Colfax is like taking a trip through time. The street is still home to many of the structures that would've welcomed travelers as they entered Denver from the east. If you're sailing down the road a bit too fast, though, you may miss the unusual-looking Citywide Banks building.
The tall pillars that decorate the front of the bank are definitely the most eye-catching aspect of the building. They look a bit like giant mushrooms. This theme is even continued in the design of the bank's tall sign that stands out by the road.
I certainly get some weird looks when I'm out and about taking pictures of random buildings. I don't think anyone would think it weird to pull over and nab a few snaps of this one, though. This isn't the sort of design you see every day.
The Citywide Banks building is located at 10660 E Colfax in Aurora.
