Facts
Designed in a Beaux-Arts Neoclassical style, the facade features two curved wings with engaged Ionic columns, a rusticated base of Cotopaxi granite, and a carillon clock tower topped with a golden eagle. |
A monumental staircase leads up to a three-story tall temple-front entry with Corinthian columns of Stone Mountain, Georgia, granite. |
Large bronze doors open into a lobby featuring Colorado travertine panels, eight 19-foot high columns in the rotunda, and various works by local artists. |
The City and County Building, conceived as part of the 1906 Robinson plan, took 26 years and the combined efforts of 39 architects to realize. |
It faces the State Capitol across Civic Center Park to the east. |
