GOLDEN HISTORY MOMENT
One of my favorite pastimes is looking at old photos at very high resolution. Patrick Klein was kind enough to send me some photos that he has been taking from elevations–either standing on the mountains or using his drone. I like comparing the top photo, which is from the Denver Public Library Western History Collection, to the bottom one. A lot has changed in downtown Golden, but you should be able to spot at least two anchor points in each–the Old Capitol Grill and the Astor House. Try it!
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!
