Golden History Moment

*Top photo – Goosetown present day, Google Maps | Lower Photo – Goosetown circa 1920s with many homes – click to enlarge*

After World War II, Coors entered a time of tremendous growth. To enable their expansion, they gradually purchased property adjacent to the brewery. The Goosetown neighborhood was particularly affected. Where there once were a few dozen homes, we now see parking lots, Coors buildings, and Highway 58.

*The 1878 Willits Map and 2021 Google Map show how 10th Street (originally called Platt St.) was rerouted – click to enlarge*

In 1975, Coors needed more room for beer “cellars,” the buildings where beer is stored for aging. They approached the City of Golden, proposed an exchange of several parcels of land, and asked the City to allow them to reroute 10th Street to make room for their newest building.

The July 28, 1975 Golden Transcript reported that the exchange of land and rights of way was complete, and that 10th Street had been rebuilt at Coors’ expense.

Thanks to the Golden History Museum for funding the online collection of historic newspapers.
