Art Deco-Moderne in Colorado's Rocky Mountains!

It's a toss-up of which is more interesting . . . that the Heister House resides in the small quaint mountain town of Salida, Colorado, or that it's a vacation rental!

Built in 1943, this home is located just a few blocks from the
art deco-style county courthouse for Chaffee County. Hallmarks of the architectural style:
the glass blocks and flat roof.

This notable, moderne house was designed by architects/homeowners Elwood and Frances Heister. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2008. A true gem . . . .

Smooth stucco veneer, rounded corners and portholes

also characterize Moderne style.

The home is complete with original lighting and woodwork. The homeowners decorated the place using original bronzes and period furnishings:
