Close-up of the main entry of the Mullen Building. The brick work is simply stunning. And the delicate ironwork overlaid onto the windows in the doors and transom are exquisite.

The entire building reads as flamboyant but with a sense of gravitas.

A close-up of the Mullen Building's entry tower and the amazing red-brick vertical projections that are individually a master-class in masonry and abstract brick expressionism.

The red-brick projections are applied as oversized pilasters with a parapet at the top but evoke so many things: frozen flames, lava cascading down a masonry wall, mineral crystals. The faceted detailing within each of the red-brick "pillars of flame" is intense.

This is the Mullen Building located in Denver's City Park West neighborhood, just east of downtown. It was built in 1934 and features a "Gothic Deco" hybrid style. More precisely, it's architectural style could be described as "Late Gothic Revival with Deco Detailing" or perhaps "Art Deco with Gothic Revival Influences."

Clearly, the vertical red-brick projections are the building's signature move. They repeat in a regular cadence around all four sides of the structure, evoking fence posts or perhaps organ pipes. The vertical thrust of each of the red-brick projections is Gothic in spirit, but employs Art Deco geometry that is abstract, faceted, and visually impactful.

The building faces east, so I photographed it in the early morning to catch the golden morning sun, which really highlights the rich colors and high contrast between the creamy buff field brick and the saturated red sculptural brick.

Final photo of Denver's East High School. It's a big building, stretching over 450 feet (135 meters) in length. This photo shows a bit more of the two symmetrical wings, which feature mid-wing octagonal towers that interrupt the long horizontal run of the wings and serve as secondary nodes and vertical accents to the central tower.

The building is also situated within a formal site plan at the foot of East 16th Avenue, with the 162-foot (49-meter) central tower being a visual terminus that can been seen from quite a distance away. The building fronts on City Park Esplanade, a City Beautiful-era landscaped parkway that connects Colfax Avenue to the southwest entrance to City Park, directly north of the school.
