Golden History Moment
47 Years Ago
The January 15, 1976 Golden Transcript reported that the Golden Landmarks Association had received a $1500 grant to replace the Astor House balcony, which had been removed many years earlier. The money was coming from the State Historical Commission through federal funding from the National Park Service.
Several decades back, the balcony had to be removed due to a city ordinance which outlawed such structures, which were considered a hazard, not the least being tobacco-chewing and spitting gentlemen who let fly without proper regard for foot traffic under them. It is hoped that spittoons can be provided by any future balcony loungers who have a yen for chewing.
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!
