Golden History Moment

58 Years Ago
The September 5, 1963 Colorado Transcript covered a groundbreaking ceremony at the Presbyterian Church (map). The congregation had long been over-crowded in the old brick church at 15th and Washington Avenue (now Foothills Art Center). They had built a new church on 16th Avenue in the late 1950s.

By 1963, they were ready to add a much-needed Sunday School wing. The addition more than doubled the floor space of the building.

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!
