Significant Mid-Century churches will be highlighted, including a tour of Shepherd of the Hills Presbyterian Church in Lakewood, that is kindly hosting this event.The Mid-Century modern movement was a time when families were leaving the cities and moving to the suburbs. The Post World War II era was a time of the Space Age, excitement and optimism. A new era of innovating architectural design was arising, influenced by such famous architects as Frank Lloyd Wright and I.M. Pei. The explosion of the suburbs and more worshippers meant church construction boomed. Mid-Century modern churches embody this shift away from the elaborate and ornate to simple yet dramatic architecture with sweeping rooflines, massive brick or stone walls and huge floor to ceiling windows with bold colorful stained glass windows filling the Sanctuary with the beautiful color of inspiring geometric shapes and abstract designs.✦ About Our Speakers ✦Stained glass has been a Watkins family tradition in England since 1761, ninegenerations of Watkins have devoted their lives to stained glass for the past 260 years.In Denver since 1868, the Watkins family is proud to be the state’s premier and oldeststained glass studio, as well as the finest and most respected stained glass studio in the Rocky Mountain area.
