Golden History Moment
Have you ever wondered about the origins of those stone walls along 44th Street, just east of the railroad track crossing? That property used to belong to Beulah (“Sonny”) Son. She owned a flower shop in Golden from the early 1930s through the mid-50s. She also had greenhouses on her 44th Street property, where she grew some of the flowers she sold in her shop and sold bedding plants.
Sonny was an enthusiastic gardener and a gifted designer. She and her husband bought the steeply sloped property in about 1930 and she began planning a series of terraces to provide level ground for her gardens. Eventually she had not only terraces but walkways, fireplaces, and stairs. She sold the property in 1956, but remnants of the elaborate stonework remain.
At this time of the year, we also see the descendants of her flower gardens, spilling out along the ruins of the walls.
Thanks to Esther Kettering for her help in tracking down the property ownership, and thanks, as always, to the Golden History Museum for providing the online collection of historic Transcripts.
