Coney Island Dairyland, Colorado — John Margolies

John Margolies photographed Coney Island Dairyland on Route 285 in Aspen Park, Colorado, in 1980. The unusual roadside building fills the composition with its rounded pink form, pale green details, weathered signage, and striped awning, all set against an intensely blue Colorado sky.

Margolies documented the structure as an example of American mimetic architecture and a roadside eating and drinking establishment. Utility poles, weeds, bare ground, and the building's aged surfaces give the photograph an unpolished character that complements its playful design. The image forms part of the John Margolies Roadside America Photograph Archive, his extensive record of distinctive commercial architecture across the United States.
