Boettcher Hall is typical of the Denver spirit. Part of the exterior walls is also glass, but there is nothing lyrical about them. They reveal a lobby that flaunts not marble or chrome but the building's functional and mechanical workings. On opening night, concertgoers could be heard arranging "to meet up at the duct" at intermission. A few thought they had come in the wrong way and wandered backstage...

Steel, chrome, tile, gloss paint were the rudiments of utopia, but, above all, glass. Paeans were written to the constructivist cathedral, the transparent tower.
