Works He worked with Phineas P. Paist and Walter De Garmo on the Douglas Entrance (1924) in Coral Gables, Florida, a property listed on the National Register of Historic Places. He also designed the Venetian Pool (1925) in Coral Gables, which is also listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The designs were strictly Denman's. The only thing Phineas Paist and Walter De Garmo added was their architect's seal because Denman was not a licensed architect.
