The four building Larimer Street complex served as the company's headquarters between 1923-83. The Midwest complex includes an architecturally significant office building designed in 1930 by Denver architect, Roland I. Linder. The Art Deco design of the office is a rare Denver example of the style applied to an industrial site.
