Exterior photograph of the Capitol Life Insurance Building located in Denver, Colorado. The 1924 Capitol Life Insurance Building is an outstanding example of the work of Denver architect Harry James Manning. This Classical Revival building, of yule marble with terra cotta trim, exhibits Manning's skill in the use of architectural detailing. A 1994-95 project restored much of the interior to its original appearance. At the rear, a two-story connector wing leads to the 1963 New Formalism, thirteen story Capitol Life Tower Addition by Modernist architect Edwin A. Francis.
