Western History Department WH1003 Historical Original owner: Teamsters Union Original use(s): Union Hall Current use(s): Office building Historical background: The building located at 3245 Eliot Street was constructed in 1955 and served as the union hall for the Denver Teamsters Union. Unlike the rest of the Potter Highlands neighborhood, Block 31 of the Potter Highlands subdivision was not fully developed as a residential block, but instead featured a mix of commercial and residential buildings. Much of the land was owned by the care facility directly to the east, the Oakes home (now The Gardens at St. Elizabeth’s) and later owned by the Poor Sisters of St Francis. It was sold to the Teamsters Building Association in 1953. The building was designed by noted Denver architect Eugene Sternberg in the International style. At the time of the building’s dedication, the Denver Post described the building: “on the ground floor are four meetings halls… a conference room; a snack bar; and a three-room apartment for a caretaker. The second floor has 26 offices, including space for nine Teamsters locals, a research department and an insurance or welfare department.” The dedication of the building was an important event, attended by the president of the AFL-CIO, Dave Beck, as well as local politicians including the Lieutenant Governor of Colorado and Denver Mayor Will Nicholson, in addition to many union officials. The Teamsters owned the building until 2009, when it was sold to an LLC. The current owner, Habitat for Humanity of Metro Denver, purchased the property in 2010.

Integrity: If a structure maintains its integrity, it may be designated for preservation. ☒ Has integrity ☐Does not have integrity Does the structure have potential for designation? ☒Has potential for designation ☐Does not have potential for designation (Significance and Integrity Analysis) The building at 3245 Eliot St has potential significance under criterion B for its direct association with the Teamsters Union between 1955 and 2009. During this time, the Teamsters union was the largest union in the United States, with a membership of over 1 million in 1955. However, the period from 1955-2009 was also marked by controversy and accusations of corruption at the national leadership of the Teamsters Union – controversy that extended to the local Denver chapter. The Teamsters Union was started in 1903 as a union for delivery drivers. The Teamsters Union grew to become the largest private-sector labor union in the United States by 1940, representing members in the delivery, truck, and aviation fields among others. Teamsters, responsible for the transportation of goods throughout the country, could use a strike as a powerful bargaining tool; if the Teamsters Union went on strike, the country’s supply chain would be crippled. Denver Teamsters took part in various strike efforts, including a 1945 milk delivery driver strike. During World War II, the union agreed to halt strike actions as the country was in a state of emergency. By 1950, the Teamsters had a membership exceeding 1 million. Between 1950 and 1970, the union wielded significant power, negotiating nationwide freight hauling agreements as a centralized organization. Accompanying this period of strength, however, was a systematic culture of corruption, including the collusion with organized crime and the manipulation of the union’s vast pension funds. In 1957, the Teamsters Union was expelled from the American Federation of Labor (AFL). Between 1957 and 1988, three presidents of the Teamsters, Dave Beck, Jimmy Hoffa, and Roy Williams, were convicted of crimes related to corruption, conspiracy, and racketeering. Denver has a long history of a Teamsters union – newspaper articles from 1902 discuss possible strikes from the Denver Teamsters union, before the union was affiliated with a national union. A year later, in 1903, a local branch of the Teamsters National Branch was founded, with assistance from Chicago union organizers. Between 1903 and 1945, the union gained significant power both at the local and national levels. Post WWII, the union continued to grow, with the Denver chapter boasting a membership of 10,000. In 1954, the Teamsters Union sold their headquarters at 1354 Bannock St to the City of Denver. They commissioned Eugene Sternberg to design a new headquarters at 3245 Eliot Street – which they purchased from the Poor Sisters of St Francis. The building was completed in 1955 and dedicated in January 1956. Dedication of the Denver Teamsters’ union headquarters came shortly after the construction and dedication of the national union headquarters in Washington DC – both architectural expressions of the Teamsters union’s growing strength in membership and political power. The Denver chapters of Teamsters were not untouched by the controversies that surrounded the national Teamsters union. In 1956, local Teamster leaders were ousted after complaints of rigged elections. However, the Teamsters Union remained a strong force in the city, despite the controversies. Today, the Teamsters union maintains many local chapters throughout the region. The building at 3245 Eliot St is also potentially significant as it embodies the distinctive visible characteristics of the International Style. The International Style is a style of architecture born out of the Modernism movement, which was popular in Europe starting in the 1920s. The Getty Institute characterizes the International style as one which maintains “an emphasis on volume over mass, the use of lightweight, mass-produced, industrial materials, rejection of all ornament and color, repetitive modular forms, and the use of flat surfaces, typically alternating with areas of glass." The building at 3245 Eliot Street embodies the International style through its rectangular massing with a flat roof, ribbon windows, and stacked brick

    CAMERA & CLIPBOARD The Historical & Architectural Survey Newsletter April 2011 Number 29 ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ HISTORY COLORADO’S NEW HISTORICAL & ARCHITECTURAL SURVEY COORDINATOR As a result of OAHP’s search process last summer and fall, Leslie Giles was selected to serve as the coordinator of the statewide historical and architectural survey program. Her first day at History Colorado was January 10, 2011. Leslie completed her B.A. in Liberal Arts at the University of Texas at Austin in 1987 and obtained a Master of Architectural History and Preservation Certificate at the University of Virginia in 1990. She has several years’ experi- ence working for state historic preservation offices in both New York and Virginia, and has been a preservation consultant for over a decade, working on surveys, nominations, tax credit applications, and design guidelines as co- owner of Lexington, Virginia-based Landmark Preservation Associates since 1996. From 2002 to 2010, Leslie was Executive Director of Historic Lexington Foundation, where she administered preservation easements and restoration grants, oversaw rehabilitations of threatened properties, and advocated for improved local and state preservation policies. Since 1999, she and husband Dan Pezzoni have also been busy raising two sons, Neil and Jonathan. Though she comes to us from Virginia, Leslie’s Colorado roots date to the 1930s, when her grandparents, Bob and Rosalia Aguirre Giles, moved to Boulder from Las Cruces, New Mexico. In the 1960s her grandparents relocated to Denver, and Leslie remembers childhood visits to several Denver area homes, including a 1920s brick bungalow on Dahlia Street and a 1970s split-level in Aurora. Bob and Rosalia also maintained a small cabin in the mountains near Evergreen, which was a magnet for summertime vacations for the extended Giles family.
