Virtual Golden
7:30PM Miners Alley Playhouse Quarantine Cabaret Series: An Evening with Rory Pierce with David Nehls on Piano.
In recent years, we’ve seen Rory at Miners Alley in Fun Home, Lost in Yonkers, You Can’t Take it With You, Brighton Beach Memoirs, and other plays. Before that, Rory was a long-time member of the ensemble cast at the Heritage Square Music Hall. (Remember the It’s Too Loud! shows they did for several years?) This should be a great show!

Golden History Moment
The Golden Armory was built in 1913 to house the engineering unit of the National Guard. During World War I, various groups of soldiers were housed there. After the War, the building became a bit of a white elephant.
The School of Mines took over ownership of the building, but even they had some trouble finding good and consistent uses. In 1928, the school leased a significant part of the building to local hoteliers. The Mitchell Hotel offered a dining room and twenty guest rooms. It operated for about ten years.
Many thanks to the Golden History Museum for providing the online cache of historic Transcripts, and many thanks to the Golden Transcript for documenting our history since 1866!
