BREAKING NEWS
If you didn’t watch Tuesday’s City Council meeting, you missed an interesting announcement. The City has requested funding to build
…up to 10 pallet shelters for existing unhoused residents of Golden who are actively participating in case management with the Navigation program. Funding has also been requested for additional staffing which could provide a 24/7 presence at the pallet sheltering site. The location of the site provides access to transit and existing non-profits which currently serve the unhoused community in Golden. The project would provide sheltering for up to two years as a transitional opportunity until the larger Jefferson County Regional Navigation Centers are developed.
The proposed site will be 230 Depot Street (map)

Golden History Moment
GOLDEN HISTORY MOMENT
73 Years Ago
The March 30, 2023 Colorado Transcript celebrated the grand re-opening of the Conoco station at 13th and Washington. The business had been operating at location for about 25 years, but the new building included “…inside facilities for the washing and lubrication departments, other modern equipment and rest rooms. Other new equipment includes the most up-to-date pumps.”
The Conoco remained in business until 1972, when the then-operator moved over to run the Sinclair station at 12th and Ford. The Sinclair station had been built in 1956.
The former Conoco was significantly remodeled by the next occupants, Golden State Bank. They added dark siding and a Mansard roof of cedar shakes.
When the Icelantic company purchased the site in 2015, they remodeled again, taking the building back to its 1950s gas station look.
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!
