Sixth Avenue Community Church

Denver County

The 1925 Sixth Avenue Community Church is an excellent example of Mission style architecture as applied to an ecclesiastical building.  The prominent hipped roof square tower with iron balconies, curvilinear shaped parapets, and rounded arched windows are the most character defining features of the style found on the church.

Other features of the style include a gabled roof, terra cotta decorative elements, and overhanging eaves with decoratively cut exposed rafters.  The church is the work of distinguished Colorado architect William Norman Bowman whose work includes over 35 known buildings in the state.
