GOLDEN HISTORY MOMENT
87 Years Ago
The October 8, 1936 Colorado Transcript announced that Woods Mortuary was expanding. The owner was buying the building next door. The increased space allowed for an enlarged chapel, three new “slumber rooms,” and a bigger sales area (coffins). The second floor was being converted into apartments.
The owner added a common facade at the street level, to unify the look of the buildings. The advertisement above shows only that first floor facade.
The recent remodeling work showed where the original brickwork was cut away to make room for that peak over the door. The new owners have done a nice job of repairing the damage:
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!
