| What is it? |
It’s the city hall of Montrose, Colorado! |
| What makes it historical? |
This Art Deco and Mission Revival building was built in 1926, 44 years after Montrose was founded! It was the first building in town built to specifically house city offices (plus the library)! The unique, mixed style with red and yellow bricks was a signature of architect, John Hudson Antrobus, who designed many buildings in Montrose, like the nearby Elks Hall! Both buildings were constructed by the firm of William L. White & Homer O. Okey! It’s one of the best examples of how Art Deco style was adapted in the Rocky Mountain states! |
