Colorado Springs Historic Architecture Tour
The American Institute of Building Design (AIBD) Conference was hosted in Colorado Springs this year, and this summer’s theme was “Defining Your Architectural Style.” The AIBD always puts together a great conference and often includes local tours as well, and this year Larry Gilland was delighted to help put together a tour of some of the historic architecture of his hometown!
Architectural Travelogue - Miami Art Deco

Touring Denver's Sacred Spaces with the Historic Preservation Alliance
Earlier this summer, Larry and Mary Gilland had the chance to go on the annual field trip with the Historic Preservation Alliance of Colorado Springs! This year took them to Denver to tour the best Sacred Spaces of the city. Architect and Architectural Historian Chuck Benson led this lively and informative tour, highlighting architectural treasures in our own backyard.
