Golden History Moment

108 Years Ago
The April 3, 1913 Colorado Transcript announced the results of the recent City Council election. Richard Broad was elected Mayor that year.

Richard Broad’s Store, circa 1910 – Golden History Museum collection – click to enlarge

Mr. Broad owned a dry goods store at 12th and Washington from the 1890s into the 1930s. He grew up on a ranch north of Golden. The family was very poor and Broad had little formal schooling, but he was well read–so much so that he began his career as a school teacher. He embarked on business in Golden and within a few years, owned one of the more prosperous stores in town.

He had a long and distinguished career in public service. He served as an alderman (now called “City Councilor”), county commissioner (1892-1908), Mayor of Golden (1903-1905 and 1913-1917), and State Senator (1932-1936). He died in 1936 and is buried in the Golden Cemetery.

Many 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!
