Golden History Moment

*The center building became Treffeisen’s City Meat Market in 1916 – click to enlarge*

105 Years Ago
The June 1, 1916 Colorado Transcript announced that the City Meat Market, formerly located at 10th and Ford, was moving into its new building on Washington Avenue.

A. J. Treffeisen has taken a five-year lease on the Coors block on Washington Avenue, and the building has been fitted up with new and modern fixtures. An immense new vault, having a capacity of 6,750 pounds of ice, has been installed. This vault will need refilling only four or five times in a year… The back room and the basement of the building will be used for the manufacture of prepared meats and for storage. Mr. Treffeisen and his family will occupy the second floor.

The Golden Transcript (originally called the Colorado Transcript) has been publishing since 1866. The Golden History Museum has been working on digitizing the historic issues. You’ll find old Transcripts online at coloradohistoricnewspapers.org.
