Jennifer Moulton '71
Those familiar with some of Colorado's best-known historic structures know
Jennifer Moulton's work. Grant Humphrey's Mansion, the Washington Park Pavilion,
Pearce McAllister Cottage, the Malo House, and many others look the way
they do because of Jennifer Moulton. As a planner, she directed the Georgetown
Loop Study, Georgetown redevelopment project, and the 1984 Garland County
Day School master plan.
A successful architect, Moulton left her company to become president of
Historic Denver in 1989. In that role, she spends most of her time helping
others understand the importance of historic buildings in establishing the
quality of life in a city. Among her successes are the establishment of
an historic district in Lower Downtown Denver and the authorship of the
urban design and historic preservation section of the award-winning 1989
Comprehensive Plan for Denver.
Many others have recognized Jennifer Moulton's important contributions.
In 1988 she received the Mayor's Award for Public Service, in 1987 the Distinguished
Service Award from the School of Architecture and Planning from the University
of Colorado at Denver, and the AIA School Medal for Excellence in Architecture
in 1978. She has lectured and taught throughout the state and has been appointed
to numerous civic boards and committees. In 1980 she founded Women for Downtown
Housing in Denver and became its first president. In 1986 she became the
the first woman president of the Denver chapter of the American Institute
of Architects.
The art history major was always drawn to understanding the social climate
in which the art of another time was produced. Her knowledge as an architect
and her passion for historic preservation have combined to help her accomplish
important work.
Through her participation in the development of public policies in urban
design and historic preservation for Denver, Jennifer Moulton has made and
will continue to make a difference.
