1978, Hurtig, Gardner and Froelich. 315 W. 11th St. (northeast corner of Grand Ave.)
  • (Carol M. Highsmith Archive, Library of Congress, Prints and Photographs Division)

Grassy berms, low walls, and pleasant landscaping set the scene for this irregularly massed, multilevel modernistic structure with flat roofs and a curved brick wall between the entrances, on the site of the demolished Centennial High School (1876). Kenneth Williams, who has adorned many Pueblo walls and buildings with three-dimensional murals, used the beige brick of the building to create a bas-relief in the curving brick entry wall.
