Iconic Hogan Reborn: Historic Colorado Restaurant to Reopen
7 Feb
Summary
- Historic Navajo Hogan, built in 1935, is reopening after six years.
- The building is a registered historic place known for its unique hogan-like architecture.
- New ownership plans a completely new menu and infrastructure for longevity.
Navajo Hogan, an iconic Colorado Springs restaurant recognized on the National Register of Historic Places, is scheduled to reopen in March 2026. The establishment, originally built in 1935, had been closed since May 2021 following the COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent fires that damaged the property.
The building's distinctive "novelty architecture" was designed to resemble a hogan, a traditional Navajo dwelling, featuring a unique corbeled log roof. It first sustained interior fire damage in 1981, remaining vacant until a thorough restoration in 1989, which also saw the iconic 17-foot neon sign revived.
Now, under new ownership by Bobby Couch of Green Line Grill, the historic structure is undergoing a year-long, extensive remodeling. Couch stated that new infrastructure has been installed to support the restaurant for another 91 years. The revitalized Navajo Hogan will feature an entirely new menu curated by Couch and executive chef Ketil Larsen.
