Littleton Creamery / Beatrice Foods Cold Storage Warehouse

Denver County

The 1903 Littleton Creamery is a rare example of early 20th century industrial design and function.  The building exhibits skillful masonry work in its brick polychromatic exterior and its successful functional design as a cold storage warehouse in continuous use for eighty years.

The building is the work of prominent Denver architects Gove and Walsh.  The same team designed the 1912 addition, while the final addition in 1916 is credited to Mountjoy and French.
