Charles Deaton's Sculptured Bank - Englewood, CO - Googie Architecture on Waymarking.com

From the Westword:

In 1965 Charles Deaton was commisioned to designed a bank, Key Savings and Loan (now the Bank of Choice). The outrageous-looking bank -- a dome-like, cream-colored, curving organic form that wraps around a curving glass wall that faces the integral parking lot -- stands on Broadway just north of Hampden in Englewood. Completed in 1967, the bank's design is more closely related to the design of the Sculptured House than is any other building on earth, making it one of the most important structures in the state. However, it hardly generated the mega-publicity of the Sculptured House (nothing else Deaton did ever would) despite being illustrated and discussed in magazines and newspapers -- and retaining its original interior details.
