Atomic

Colorado Springs experienced a growth spurt in the 1950s and '60s. I think it must have had something to do with the Air Force Academy being built here in 1955-ish. There are quite a few examples of outstanding atomic architecture here, like my brother's house (built in 1960), which is very atomic indeed. There's a subdivision quite close to mine called Valli Hi, adjacent to the municipal golf course by the same name, and it's got some awesome midcentury homes! Take a look at this beauty. Don't you just love it? It would be right at home in Palm Springs, but it's a five minute drive from my own 1958 rancher. I actually took this picture on August 18, 2017 but for some reason never blogged it. I think I was trying to work up a post featuring lots of mid-mod architecture, but didn't ever finish taking pictures of all my favorites around town. This one sure deserves to be seen!

And now, for your listening pleasure...
