GOLDEN HISTORY MOMENT
William Loveland, one of our town founders, built the brick business block at 12th and Washington in 1863. William died in 1894, but his widow, Miranda, lived until 1923.
120 Years Ago
The February 4, 1904 Colorado Transcript reported that Mrs. Loveland had decided to
…make some extensive improvements upon the premises as soon as the weather will permit. A new modern front is to be put in with plate glass windows and doors, the doors to be placed at the corner. It will be a much needed improvement and will add greatly to the appearance of the prominent corner.
The October 19, 1905 Colorado Transcript provided this progress report:
A new iron roof and new gutters are being put on and a general rejuvenation of the old Loveland property at the corner of Washington avenue and Twelfth is going on. They have under consideration a new modern front for the building, which will be an improvement worth making . Linder & Co . have the contract for the work now going on. The Koenig Mercantile Co., who have occupied the premises for many years, are deserving of the improvements suggested.
The December 21, 1905 Transcript had this update:
The extensive improvements upon the Loveland building are nearly completed and are very pleasing to citizens and the Koenig Merchantile Co., the occupant of the spacious store rooms upon the first floor. The iron and plate glass front is nearly done and the rejuvenation of the interior will be pushed as rapidly as possible.
Thanks to the Golden History Museum for providing the online cache of historic Transcripts, and to the Golden Transcript for documenting our history since 1866!
