Sculptured House

Its architect Charles Deaton described his inspiration: "On Genesee Mountain I found a high point of land where I could stand and feel the great reaches of the Earth. I wanted the shape of it to sing an unencumbered song." ==Construction==

The house was built in 1963. Delzell Inc., owned and operated by Clifford M. Delzell, was the original contractor, on an experimental permit. Deaton ran out of money before the house was finished, so he never lived in it. The interior went largely unfinished and was vacant for almost three decades. Deaton died in 1996. In 1999, John Huggins, an entrepreneur and the former head of economic development for Denver, purchased the house. The house covers over five levels, with five bedrooms and five bathrooms, along with a state of the art kitchen and top level master suite. In 2006, Michael Dunahay, a Denver entrepreneur, purchased the house from Huggins. ==In the media==
