Title	Entrance to the Eugene Field Building with tree in front
Creator(s)	Hamilton, Kinsey
Summary	Named after the American writer Eugene Field, this apartment building was built in 1939 by architect Charles D. Strong. It features Art Deco and Art Moderne elements. Eugene Field lived from September 2, 1850 to November 4, 1895 is best known for his essays and children’s poetry. Field lived in Denver from 1881 to 1883 and served as managing editor, news editor and poet of the Denver Tribune. When the four room house that he lived in at 315 West Colfax was in danger of being condemned in the late 1920’s, Margaret “Molly” Tobin Brown stepped in and bought the house to make it a memorial to Field. The house was moved to Washington Park in 1930 and served as a branch of the Denver Public Library for more than 40 years. Washington Park has a statue by Mabel Landrum Torrey (1918) that features the characters of the poem “Wynken, Blynken and Nod” that currently resides next to the Field House. The current Denver Public Library branch about a ½ mile from the park is also named after Field.
