Entryway of the Acacia Apartments (1922) in Denver's Capitol Hill neighborhood.

The dominant feature is clearly the stone arch, which gives the portal a sense of weight and permanence, but is itself simple and restrained. The green tile field within the arch serves as a visual backdrop to a decorative crest, and adds a touch of color and a modern geometric pattern to the composition.

The crest itself resembles a heraldic shield but is rendered as an abstract geometric ornament that feels proto-Art Deco in nature. A large keystone at the top of the arch—the most ornate element in the composition adorned with floral and leaf motifs—connects the arch to a horizontal belt cornice in the same stone material and to a wrought-iron balcony above. The wood door and sidelights are fairly plain, with the door's leaded-glass window echoing the curve of the main arch above.

Overall, the architecture of the entryway mixes Classical and emerging Modernist elements to create a dignified and monumental portal.

Happy Doorsday!

Loving this vantage point I found nearby. It’ll be nicer in the winter when there’s less heat haze.

Close-up view of the façade of the Denver Art Museum's Kirkland Building (2017), which features International Decorative Arts collections including works from Colorado artist Vance Kirkland.

The radiant eye-catching façade of the Kirkland Building consists of slender vertical bars of terra cotta in a spectrum ranging from bright yellow to deep gold, interspersed with glass bars backed by gold foil (top left and bottom right). The varying widths of the terra cotta bars and the deep shadows in the gaps between the bars gives the façade tremendous texture.

Entryway of the Zell Apartments (1940) in Denver's Uptown neighborhood with a late Art Deco design consisting of cream-colored stone panels arranged into a large rectangular surround with fluted vertical bands. The prominent feature of the entry is definitely the building name "THE ZELL" in a striking Art Deco/Streamline Moderne typeface. The simple door is framed by two glass-block sidelights, and the traditional ceramic urns on either side of the steps adds a touch of classical warmth into the modernist composition.

Found a good vantage point nearby. Need to spend some time there when we get a really clear sunrise or sunset.

Telephoto definitely adds a layer of challenge to stabilize the tripod from even tiny movements. Harder to lock in manual focus on this lens vs my wide angles too, the wheel moves a bit too easily. Gets tough to be sure autofocus will continue to properly lock in the dark. Need to try to dial it in a bit better.
