Glen Huntington

Glen Wood Huntington (1856-1943) was an American architect who practiced mainly in Denver, Colorado. A number of his works are listed on the National Register of Historic Places or designated as Denver Landmarks for their architecture.

He was born at Bunker Hill, Illinois, studied in Waterloo, New York, and first moved to Denver in the late 1870s. He opened a practice in Denver in 1888 but closed it during the financial crash of 1893. He reopened his practice when the depression was ending in 1897, and then practiced until 1938. His two sons Glen H. and Henry Whitney Huntington also became architects. Glen H. Huntington is known as architect of the austere Boulder County Courthouse and of Boulder's Hollywood Bowl-style Glen Huntington Bandshell (1938).

In his career Glen Wood Huntington specialized in, and is most known for, single-family home designs, in a variety of styles. These range from architectural revival styles (including Classical, Colonial, Tudor, and Renaissance) to then-modern Prairie Style. He also designed "upscale versions of the Foursquare and Bungalow." Further he designed at least three public structures in Denver: two fire stations and an addition to Berkeley School.
