INTEGRITY The integrity of Glen Huntington Bandshell has been assessed to determine if the characteristics that shaped the original construction within its period of significance (1938 to 1968) are present as they were historically. Integrity is evaluated according to seven aspects or qualities: location, design, setting, materials, workmanship, feeling, and association. The Glen Huntington Bandshell retains integrity in location, design, workmanship, feeling, and association.
Location The Bandshell remains in its original Central Park location, as it has since its 1938 construction.
Setting The Bandshell's setting remains similar to the end of the recommended period of significance. The original oval shape of the entire setting is not as legible as it was historically. Alterations to the walks, seating, and vegetation over time has somewhat modified the setting. Design The Art Deco style bandshell design and associated site remains. No major modifications have occurred since 1938. Rehabilitations in 1997 stabilized the Bandshell but did not alter its original design or historic character. Materials Original materials were either maintained or replaced during the most recent rehabilitation of the Bandshell in 1997. Materials replaced in-kind at that time include asphalt roofing, plywood sheathing, interior wallboard cladding, and wood flooring. The Bandshell's color scheme and paint finish has changed since its original construction. All materials (new and original) remain intact. Workmanship Workmanship is consistent with the type of bandshell construction built across the United States in the 1920s to 1930s and reflects the work of Glen Huntington and Saco Rienk DeBoer. Feeling The structure is open and creates the potential for community interaction and engagement. Glen Huntington Bandshell retains integrity in feeling. Association The Bandshell retains its association and importance with Central Park and the greater Boulder Civic Area, and its associations with Boulder Lions Club.
