Golden History Moment

*Stewart Building at 10th and Washington – Colorado Transcript – June 3, 1970 – enlarge*

52 Years Ago
The front page of the June 3, 1970 Golden Daily Transcript announced a new paint job for the Golden Laundromat. It was changing from a “weathered white” to a brick red color. The caption reassured readers that the Indian painting on the south side of the building was left intact.

*A post-paint job photo shows that the laundromat also got some striking signage! Note that the Visitors Center hasn’t yet been built across the street – enlarge*

The Stewart building was originally a grocery store. It served as the Golden community center during the 1950s before becoming a laundromat in 1959. The building currently contains three businesses–Rewind Consignments and Vaia Salon on the first floor and a Pilates studio on the second floor.

*This present day photo shows that the Indian mural on the south side is still there. It was originally an advertising mural for tobacco – enlarge*

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!
