We’re excited to share a beautifully written feature in the July 2025 issue of Boulder Lifestyle Magazine: “Reviving a Legacy” by Edson Graycar.

The article dives deep into the story of the Boulder Elks Lodge—its architectural roots, its enduring role in the community, and its future as imagined through the Reviving the Elks Club Design Challenge, a centerpiece of this year’s Month of Modern programming.

Tracing the building’s evolution from its early 20th-century beginnings downtown to its 1967 mid-century modern expansion, the piece captures more than just architectural history—it highlights the potential for renewal. As Month of Modern co-organizer Stephanie Bingham notes in the piece, “This building has incredible bones—it just needs new energy and a bit of imagination.”

The article goes beyond design to explore the Lodge’s role as a vital “third space”—a place for gathering, giving back, and celebrating community. And it brings attention to how the design challenge, and the capital campaign that will follow, are real opportunities to revitalize this local landmark for the next generation.

Whether you’re a fan of architecture, community-driven design, or local history, Reviving a Legacy is a must-read.
