1987, Dean Brookie. 928 E. Main St. (northwest corner of Mildred Rd. in City Park)

This inviting information center and mini-museum is a viga-studded, two-story stucco hybrid that borrows from the International Style as well as the Pueblo Revival. Dean Brookie, a Durango architect, used shapes, including a round tower and oddly angled rooms, suggested by the Mesa Verde ruins.
