University Building, Denver Colorado.


What's depicted here is the smokestack of the University Building in Denver Colorado.

The University Building was built in 1910 as the A. C. Foster Building and was renamed in 1921 when it was donated to Denver University.  It contains many art deco embellishments.


A more recent embellishment to the building, which is now an apartment building, has been the painting of its smokestack as a No. 2 pencil, thereby playing on its name.

O'Fallon Museum, Baker Montana.


A mural on the side of of the O'Fallon Museum in Baker Montana.  Baker is in Fallon, not O'Fallon, County Montana, so presumably the "O" was dropped off of the name of Benjamin O'Fallon, after whom the county was named, at some point when Montana chose to honor the early Indian Agent and nephew of William Clark with a county name.

The building was originally the county jail and was built in 1916.

View House, Denver Colrado


The sign for the View House cites it was established in 1915.  I don't otherwise know anything about it, other than that it's right across from Coors Field.
